Plugin Homepage Plugin GitHub Current Features 100% disables the Gutenberg block editor in one click hides the Gutenberg admin notice (nag) no settings page or settings are required no database queries PHP-based only for faster performance (use PHP Opcache) unlike other plugins, users cannot toggle Gutenberg “on” for certain themes, posts, pages, or post types (it is 100% gone) unlike other plugins, the “Classic” editor code is not re-bundled (pointless, until WP Core ever deletes it completely which is not happening for a long time, so lighter code and less security concerns this way) can be used as a Must-Use plugin too to force users/clients to not see the Gutenberg editor Compatibility This plugin has been designed for use on SlickStack web servers with PHP 7.2 and MySQL 5.7 to achieve best performance. All of our plugins are meant for single site WordPress installations only; for both performance and usability reasons, we highly recommend avoiding WordPress Multisite for the vast majority of projects. Any of our WordPress plugins may also be loaded as “Must-Use” plugins by using our free Autoloader script in the mu-plugins directory.
