I’m curious to know what in particular you’ve found helpful about Gutenberg, and in what context you’re using it — are you mainly using it in a blog, for example?

Absolutely. Thanks for your help.

I salute you, @acoggins!

@pbarthmaier. I’m not sure if I have actually missed the point or whether you have.

I’m well aware that the classic editor is available as a plugin, and in fact I’d already installed it before I wrote.

The reviews of Gutenberg are overwhelmingly negative. It doesn’t seem like this is being taken seriously.

Those reviews point to Gutenberg being unintuitive, clunky, much more difficult to use than the classic editor, and is intended to solve a problem that most of us simply don’t have. If Gutenberg remained available as an optional plugin, I’m quite certain that only a small percentage of WordPress users would download and use it long-term. For most of us it’s simply unnecessary.

New users of WordPress are going to struggle with Gutenberg. Sure, there’s an alternative, but having to download a plugin before you can use your blog, rather than having the classic interface available as an option right from the start, is going to be a barrier to adoption. It would be far better to have the classic editor running out of the box, with Gutenberg available as an optional setting or as a plugin for the small minority of users who want it.

I rather suspected that was the case, @gsallman. It’s sad, because WordPress is amazing, yet if regular users like me find it off-putting, and occasional guest-posters on my blog don’t even know how to begin a post, complete newcomers to WP are going to be even more lost. This isn’t going to help with the adoption of the platform.

I agree. Gutenberg is an unintuitive mess. I’m glad that the classic text editor is available as a plugin, but it should be the default, with Gutenberg available for those of a masochistic disposition.

That worked perfectly. Thanks for the prompt help!

Thanks, @westonruter. Your test contact form submission came through. I’ll give the redirect plugin a go and let you know how it turns out.

Yes, it would be good to get the bottom of the issue.

I’ve edited my review again. Apparently if you put the “del” tag around multiple paragraphs it’s only applied to the first one. I don’t know if that’s a bug or not ??

Anyway, all three paragraphs from the first are now struck through.

It’s impressive how far the plugin has come. Congratulations to all involved!

Thanks! SG Optimizer does a lot of things including minifying JS, CSS, and so on. I imagine that the conflict was along those lines.

And that was it. With SG Optimizer disabled the AMP is working fine. I have it set to native mode. This particular site is fairly low traffic, so I’ll leave SG optimizer disabled.

The other plugins I have installed are Akismet, List category posts, SG Optimizer, Securi, Tweet Button for Quotes, and Wordfence.

SG Optimizer is the most likely candidate for a plugin conflict. I’ll try disabling it and re-enabling AMP and then let you know how it turns out.

Sure. I’ll do that right now.
