The Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous (“classic”) WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen. It enables the use of plugins that extend the old editor screen, add old-style meta boxes, or otherwise depend on the previous editor. Administrators can select the default editor for all users and allow users to change their default editor. Each post opens in the last editor used, ensuring a consistent editing experience. By default, this plugin hides all functionality available in the new block editor (“Gutenberg”). The Classic Editor plugin includes several filters that let other plugins control the settings and the editor choice per post and per post type. It will be fully supported and maintained until 2024, or as long as is necessary.
