rubbish!

  • I don’t see what’s the great innovation in this thing that everybody is buzzing around. It makes writing a post more difficult / takes longer time. I write offline in the train or in the plane, then copy and paste in WordPress when I can connect to the web. What should I do now? Copy and paste every single paragraph in an individual block? What for? And why on Earth does a “creative” need to format each paragraph in a page with a different color and style?
    Instead of wasting time in developing this useless interface, why don’t you develop a way for writing a matehmatical or chemical formula? Up to now, I must write them with word, save them as picture and load them as such. Full compatibility with Word is a must. Sorry if you Apple lovers hate Bill Gates, but we small entrepreneurs need to use our time to earn our bread, we cannot spend hours learning each time how to use new things you decided are Ok and nobody saked you for.
    Not to mention that my site went crazy when my provider automatically updated to V5 with Gutemberg. I want to warmly thank those guys who created Classic Editor, if it was not for it, I would be now looking for a new program and starting my site froma scratch.

    Hello @smilodon61, you can certainly use Classic Editor if you prefer! Although, if you write in a Word doc and then paste into WordPress, I’d encourage you to give Gutenberg another try. You should be able to copy and paste your whole post in and Gutenberg will automatically separate paragraphs into separate blocks. This allows you to edit paragraphs differently, for instance, a quote could stand out more distinctly. On the other hand, you could also use the “Classic block” which will allow you to put the entire text into one block, and you can edit the whole block at once if you want it to look very uniform.

    I’m sorry to hear that your site had difficulty when it was updated to v.5.0. Would you mind elaborating on what happened?

    It was a mess with some plugins, I solved it by installing the plugin to re-establish the classic editor and changing for other similar plugins that were compatible. Fortunately, the writers of the theme updated it for compatibility and I didn’t need to change theme. But I lost many hours of precious work time.

    I often wrote in word and then pasted in the old version without any problem. So what’s new in this new rubbish? It does exactly the same as the classic editor did, but in a more difficult way.

    I still have the problem of editing mathematical formulas when writing scientific articles: I need to paste them as images.
