Classic Editor support into perpetuity
-
Although there are good things about the way you can be flexible with the block editor, the website I curate is full of the writing of people who barely understand email. My daily task is to take their article docs and turn them into something attractive to read on a smartphone.
I rarely start with a blank post and compose in WP; I copy and paste the whole thing at once and format and edit as needed from there.
So, for my needs, the new editor is nothing but a huge pain even though I’ve taken the tutorials to understand what the process is. I don’t get paid by the hour to convert 1,500 words into 10 new blocks–unless you want to pay my expenses?
All I need from the WP developers for now is to continue to maintain the classic editor plugin until the next major reinvention that gets past all the fancy ‘efficient’ additions you’ve created and back to the basics. Or at least includes a standard basic option that allows for people like me to work most efficiently for my needs.
