    Hi Andrew,

    I have an important question for you regarding Gutenberg and the Tinymce Advanced plugin.

    Will I still be able to use it instead of the Classic Editor plugin? I have a couple of websites that depend on some of the features that Tinymce Advanced offer and I need to know if I can still use them or will they be integrated in the Classic Editor plugin? I really need to know this in preparation for Gutenberg.

    Thank you.

    Yes, TinyMCE Advanced will be updated to work with Gutenberg. It will also continue to work with the Classic Editor just like it works now.

    I tried the Gutenberg plugin in combination with the TinyMCE Advanced. If you add the block level element “Classic” in the Gutenberg Editor it will show the TinyMCE Advanced Editor.

    If Gutenberg Editor gets standard you can use the Classic Editor Plugin to replace the Gutenberg Editor completely ( https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/ ).
    If you allready have installed the Gutenberg Plugin, the Classic Editor Plugin also substitutes the Gutenberg Plugin and if installed, the TinyMCE Advanded Editor can be used as always.
    For me I will test the Gutenberg Editor, but I think, I will prefere the well-known environment without block level and layout elements and will use the Classic Editor Plugin in combination with TinyMCE Advanced if Gutenberg will be released with WordPress 5.0.
    What’s best practise for migration? Should I install the Classic Editor Plugin allready now (WP 4.9.8) to be prepared for 5.0? Or should I wait for the release?

    Yep, TinyMCE Advanced is/will be available in the Classic block.

    If the Classic Editor plugin is activated, TinyMCE Advanced will work too, just like in WP 4.9.8. I’m planning to enhance these “plugin interactions” a bit when WP 5.0 gets to betas/RC. In any case having the Classic Editor plugin will always make it possible to use TinyMCE Advanced too.
