As WordPress users anticipate the release of WordPress version 5.0 in 2018, there have been mixed reactions to Gutenberg editor which will be released together with the new WP version. The editor is currently on its beta and testing phase and so, only available as a plugin. It is designed to be a permanent replacement of the default WP Editor.
First, what is Gutenberg Editor?
Named after Johannes Gutenberg, the brain behind the invention of a movable printing press over 500 years ago, Gutenberg editor is an upcoming editor for WordPress expected to WP Editor permanently in the editing of content on the websites running on the platform. Created with React, the editor is a client-side interface that builds up content using a system based on blocks.
If you are wondering whether the official rolling out of Guttenburg must affect your WordPress website or not, the answer is yes. Once released officially, the software will be integrated into WordPress core and hence become the official WordPress editor. Nevertheless, if you’ll want to restore the old editor, Classic Editor, a free plugin will make the restoration possible.
