WordPress 4.9.8 was released as scheduled. It regularly fixes various bugs and security vulnerabilities. It is recommended to upgrade immediately.
After the upgrade is successful, a "A new, modern publishing experience is coming soon" panel will be displayed on the dashboard page. This is to say that the new editor Gutenberg is coming. Although it is not integrated in version 4.9.8, the next version will be the default editor. Now let's talk about the Gutenberg editor.
Gutenberg editor is used to edit articles and pages in a mode similar to the page builder, so that users can flexibly build page content in a "block" way. According to developers, it is used to replace the "short code" function of WordPress that has been used for many years, but does not affect the short code added previously. At present, the Gutenberg editor is still under development in the form of plug-in. You can search and install the Gutenberg plug-in in the background. The following is the enabled editor interface.
Maybe you, like me, will feel very unaccustomed. Some editor enhancements added previously will also disappear
On the Gutenberg plug-in page, the user left a message saying that the editor is not used to, is not easy to use, and should not be used as the default editor of WP. It is enough to exist only as an enhanced plug-in.
If you don't like this editor or your theme and plug-in are incompatible, the WP official has also given a solution, which can be installed“ Classic Editor plugin ”Plug in, switch back to the original TinyMCE editor.
In addition, Gutenberg should have called the REST API. This function may be used by DDOS attacks. If you disable it, Gutenberg cannot be used.
When I was testing the Gutenberg plug-in, I was embarrassed to disable another plug-in with a plug-in.
