In reply to: [Gutenberg] Please do not go to the coreTrue, and all have their own way to work, which is very confusing for many users, and also very frustrating. Gutenberg will provide a standardized way how all the complicated stuff, like widgets, shortcodes, custom post types, custom fields can be hidden away for the content producers who have now a unified way to publish their content.
That was the strength of WordPress when I got into it 10 years ago: Every site worked the same way and people who knew how to publish on the platform knew how to do this on every site. In the last few years, that has dramatically changes with the proliferation of non-standardized page builders. The worst of them come with theme and content lock-in, so a site-owners wasn’t free any more to switch out themes when it was time to modernize.
Of course, leaving WordPress as your preferred system is one solution. There is also the plugin “Classic Editor” which will allow you to hide Gutenberg “for a while”, probably years.
You should give Gutenberg a try, WPTommy! You seem to care enough to leave a review here and participate in the conversation. I am using Gutenberg on a few of my side projects (not on client projects) and I really like pushing out content fast. My customers will love it. I also find quirks all around it. I make a note and post them on Gutenberg’s issues list. The team has been very, very fast fixing things, and accommodate developers trying to figure out how to work with Gutenberg on the core-editor Slack channel. It’s a fascinating energy.

In reply to: [Gutenberg Click to Tweet Block] Save errorRich,
this was not about the hashtags. When I encountered a similar error message again, I realized it has nothing to do with your plugin. It seems to be a Jetpack issue. I’ll file it at their github repo

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Please make this a Jetpack module…There has been nothing but respect for the user who wants to be left alone from the core team. The classic editor is a very viable solution. And he can be left alone and use the clean text editor even in Gutenberg. And why not stay at 4.9.x. – You will have plenty of company looking at the number of people still on older versions. Only 56.6 % of WordPress sites are on 4.8 & 4.9 – meaning 43.4% are on older versions and didn’t think they needed all the new stuff. And what do you know, they still get security patches. The last one was just released couple of weeks ago and patch back to 3.7. The Core Team gives plenty of respect to site owners and user guarding anything for backward compatibility.
I have been nothing but a purist for a long time. I tested page builders, and I agree each one of them was nothin but ‘meh’. Until I actually used Gutenberg on a few sites in production, I wasn’t able to grasp the huge leap forward it provides for content creation. It’s an utter joy to write blog posts in Gutenberg. It has been a real eye-opener for me. But that’s just me. My opinion only counts when I am home. Alone.

I don’t know about the hosting company, but if it were doing restores to the database we would also lose post and other information, which doesn’t seem to happen.Forum: Plugins

For those WordPress users a little less on the developer site:
I also used wp-term-order plugin by @johnjamesjacoby. It has a nice drag & drop interface for ordering and the get_terms() comes out in the custom order, too.Forum: Plugins
