Install classic editor by default? #210

Closed vinkla closed 6 years ago

vinkla commented 6 years ago

Yesterday marks the day when WordPress releases the first version were they ask users to install the new Gutenberg editor. This raises the question where we want to go with WordPlate. Should we keep the default behaviour and use the new Gutenberg editor or should be install the classic editor plugin which will hide anything Gutenberg related in WordPress?

With version 2.0.0 we have added a class that detects whether the main “Classic Editor” plugin already has been installed and activated. If it hasn’t, that plugin can be installed with one click. The notice can also be dismissed - Classic Editor Plugin

What is your opinion? Have you tried Gutenberg? Are you going to use it when it is released in the next major version of WordPress? Please give us feedback and share your ideas!

We've discussed this internally and decided that we want to keep WordPlate as clean as possible. We don't want to make any assumptions about Gutenberg usage out of the box. We'll not merge #211 and leave this up to our users.
