 * I get the “Publishing failed” error I have read so much about, I have disabled
   plugins and tried everything I have read but still the error persists. Having
   a way to disable the Gutenberg functionality completely from a WordPress install
   would be ideal, but I do not believe they want that to happen.

 * This plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)
   has been shared around which will provide the ability to disable Gutenberg if
   required.
 * I would like to think of these errors will be fixed along the way, fingers crossed!

 * Hiya,
 * Thanks for testing Gutenberg, and for taking the time to let us know about your
   experiences with it so far!
 * You got a Publishing failed error I see, could you share a bit more about the
   circumstances around this so we can better identify what might have happened?
   
   If possible, could you share what plugins and theme you have active on your site,
   and was this a regular post, or a special ind of custom content type you were
   trying to publish?
