 * Hi, Good day. Got a question, is it okay to disable the Gutenberg editor by adding
   a line of codes in functions.php and installing the Classic Editor plugin? is
   it recommended by wordpress to install the Class Editor plugin? Thanks and God
   bless.

 * Installing the Classic Editor plugin is the recommended way of disabling the 
   new block editor (formerly known as Gutenberg). No changes to functions.php should
   be necessary.

 * Thank you so much! Ive seen a video tutorial on YT about disabling the new block
   editor, where he added an additional line of codes in the functions.php file 
   in the dashboard to disable the new block editor so I tried to post it here to
   know if its required or not.
