A Simple Guide to the Block Editor

Today’s post was written in response to the concerns of several blogging colleagues. PLEASE NOTE: Comments are enabled on this post, and a downloadable and printable Guide to the Block Editor is available at the end of the page.

First, you should know that the Classic Editor is not disappearing, all that is happening is that the Gutenberg, the Block Editor, will become the default editor on June 1^st. At the same time, WordPress will provide a link to the Classic Editor. Presumably, we will need to open a new page to access the link. We’re told the Classic will be around until at least 2022.
