Previously, it was said that the official version of WordPress 5.0 would be released on November 19, but this is the end of the month. At present, only the first candidate version of WordPress 5.0 RC1 released on November 23 has been rejected. From the five previous beta versions, the developers have been struggling with the Gutenberg editor. However, the Gutenberg editor plug-in has only a two-and-a-half star rating, which is not favored by most people. It completely subverts the user's usage habits. From the original simple text editing, it has become cumbersome to create web templates with visual modules, It's a bit confusing, and it also subverts the experience and method of theme production I have accumulated for many years
To use the classic classic editor, you need to install another plug-in: Classic Editor
After testing, only the new default theme TwentyNineteen can be compatible with the Gutenberg editor. Other previous default themes will prompt on the article editing page:
file_get_contents(xxx/twentyseventeen): failed to open stream: Permission denied in xxx\edit-form-blocks.php on line 200
It is believed that this error will be corrected in the subsequent official version, and we can only get used to this new editor gradually.
Other updates only see the addition of one of the above default themes and support for the upcoming PHP 7.3. The official release date has not been determined.
