If we have friends who are using the WordPress program, we should find that the official version of WordPress 5.0 has been pushed for updates and upgrades at the weekend. If you know a lot about the previous beta version, you should know that the main update this time is not a security update, but the default editor Gutenberg and the new default theme TwentyNineteen. I have seen many netizens complain that this new editor has really changed a lot compared with the previous traditional editor.
We have also seen various complaints about WP on foreign platforms, and even some people say that WP is useless. In fact, for WordPress programs, efforts have been made to maintain and update them, and new things have also been tried. For some editing users, Gutenberg editor is still recognized. In addition, the official has also given us time to over adapt. It is mentioned that we will cancel the switch to the traditional Classic Editor in 2021.
At present, what we can do is to adapt to the current Gutenberg editor, or switch to the Classic Editor for the time being. Maybe we will be familiar with the new editor in the future and use it all the time? Or if we don't adapt, will there be other third-party editor plug-ins that can replace the traditional ones?
First, the default Gutenberg editor
Here we see that it is really refreshing, but for those who have not played the beta before, it is really silly, and there is no Chinese version at present, which is more mysterious. If we are interested in it, we can get used to it slowly.
Apart from the normal entry of the title, the rest of the Gutenberg editor is customized through modularization, which is very flexible. We can put it as we want. It is OK for users who need rich editing, such as those who set up their own websites, but it is really unnecessary for bloggers who use traditional text editing+intermediate pictures.
We can control a paragraph module separately. I don't think there is any problem with using it. Lao Zuo has experienced it for some time before. Since the business has officially launched, it must have been tested and investigated before. After all, every change will have some dissatisfaction, which is normal.
Second, temporarily replace the traditional editor
According to the official statement of WP, if we don't use the Gutenberg editor now, we can replace it with plug-ins before 2021, or use the previous Classic Editor.
We can search for the "Classic Editor" plug-in directly at the plug-in, and then activate the installation.
After we activate and start, the traditional editor will be replaced by default.
To sum up, Lao Zuo was really dissatisfied with forcing users to use the Gutenberg editor when upgrading WP5.0. However, there is still reason for the merchant to make such a decision. If we are not accustomed to using it, we can replace it with other editors. After all, there are many options in the plug-in area.
