Come disattivare Gutenberg e mantenere l’editor classico in WordPress

By Editorial Staff | | Reader Disclosure

ChatGPT Perplexity X LinkedIn WhatsApp

Quando abbiamo iniziato a fare blog con gli utenti di WordPress, l’Editor classico era tutto ciò che avevamo a disposizione. Ora, anche se Gutenberg è predefinito, alcuni preferiscono il Classic Editor per un’esperienza di scrittura semplice.

Sebbene Gutenberg sia potente, non è sempre la soluzione migliore per le esigenze di tutti. Se si gestisce un sito web aziendale o più siti di clienti, a volte il familiare Classic Editor è proprio quello che ci vuole.

Vi mostriamo i modi più affidabili per disabilitare Gutenberg e continuare a usare il Classic Editor.

Disable Gutenberg and keep classic editor in WordPress

Che cos’è Gutenberg?

Gutenberg è il nome dell’editor a blocchi di WordPress. È stato creato per rendere più moderna la scrittura in WordPress.

Cerca di funzionare come un plugin per il page builder, perché consente di trascina e rilascia elementi in una pagina o in un post. L’obiettivo è offrire una maggiore flessibilità e abilitare gli utenti di WordPress a creare layout unici per i loro contenuti con contenuti multimediali ricchi.

WordPress block editor on the 2021 theme

Dalla versione di WordPress 5.0, l’editor a blocchi è l’editor predefinito di WordPress.

Perché disabilitare l’editor Gutenberg in WordPress?

Molti proprietari di siti web che utilizzano WordPress da anni si trovano più a loro agio con il Classic Editor. Inoltre, poiché l’editor a blocchi è relativamente nuovo, alcuni plugin potrebbero non essere pienamente compatibili con esso.

Fortunatamente, ci sono modi per utilizzare l’editor classico, anche su WordPress 5.0 o successivo.

Nella sezione seguente, vi mostreremo come disabilitare facilmente Gutenberg e continuare a utilizzare il classico editor di WordPress.

Ecco una rapida panoramica di tutti i metodi che condivideremo in questa guida:

Pronti? Iniziamo.

Metodo 1. Disabilitare Gutenberg con il plugin WPCode (consigliato)

Noi di WPBeginner consigliamo di disabilitare Gutenberg utilizzando il plugin WPCode, il miglior plugin per gli snippet di codice per WordPress.

WPCode's homepage

Ci piace il fatto che semplifichi l’aggiunta di codice personalizzato in WordPress senza dover modificare il file functions.php del tema. Quindi, non c’è motivo di preoccuparsi di rompere il vostro sito web WordPress. Per saperne di più, consultate la nostra recensione di WPCode.

Questo plugin è caratterizzato anche da una libreria di snippet di codice integrata, che consente di personalizzare facilmente le funzioni di WordPress.

Nella libreria troverete frammenti di codice verificati per le caratteristiche più richieste, come la disabilitazione di Gutenberg, la disabilitazione di WordPress REST API, la disabilitazione degli aggiornamenti automatici e molto altro. Questo elimina la necessità di installare una serie di plugin monouso.

Per iniziare, è necessario installare e attivare il plugin gratuito WPCode. Se avete bisogno di aiuto, consultate la nostra guida su come installare un plugin di WordPress per le istruzioni passo-passo.

Nota: WPCode ha un piano gratuito che si può utilizzare. Tuttavia, l’aggiornamento alla versione pro vi darà accesso a caratteristiche come la libreria cloud di frammenti di codice, la logica condizionale intelligente, la funzione di frammenti di blocco e altro ancora.

Una volta attivato il plugin, è necessario andare su Code Snippets “ Library dalla dashboard di WordPress.

Quindi, cercare lo snippet “Disabilita l’editor Gutenberg (usa l’editor classico)” e fare clic sul pulsante “Usa snippet”.

Search for the Disable Gutenberg snippet in WPCode library

Nella schermata successiva, si vedrà che WPCode ha aggiunto automaticamente il codice.

Inoltre, imposta il metodo di inserimento corretto e aggiunge un titolo e dei tag per ricordare a cosa serve il codice.

WPCode Disable Gutenberg (use Classic Editor) snippet

Da qui è sufficiente spostare l’interruttore da “Inattivo” ad “Attivo”.

Dopodiché, fate clic sul pulsante “Aggiorna”.

Switch the code snippet to Active and click Update in WPCode

Ecco fatto. L’editor a blocchi di Gutenberg è ora disabilitato e si può usare l’Editor classico.

Metodo 2. Disattivare Gutenberg con il plugin dell’editor classico

Per questo metodo, utilizzeremo il plugin Classic Editor, sviluppato e mantenuto dai collaboratori di WordPress.

La prima cosa da fare è installare e attivare il plugin Classic Editor. Se avete bisogno di aiuto, potete consultare la nostra guida passo-passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.

Il plugin funziona subito e disabilita l’editor Gutenberg all’attivazione.

Inoltre, consente di mantenere contemporaneamente sia Gutenberg che l’Editor classico.

È possibile configurare questo aspetto nelle impostazioni del plugin. Basta andare su Impostazioni ” Scrittura nell’area di amministrazione di WordPress. Troverete l’opzione per farlo sotto “Impostazioni dell’editor classico”.

Classic editor settings

Non dimenticate di cliccare sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per salvare le impostazioni.

Ora si vedrà un nuovo link nel menu Pubblicazioni per creare nuovi post usando il classico editor.

Switched to classic editor

Potrete anche modificare gli articoli più vecchi utilizzando il Classic Editor.

È sufficiente andare alla pagina “Post” ” Tutti i post” e vedere un link “Modifica (Editor classico)” sotto i post.

The Edit classic button

Metodo 3. Utilizzare l’editor classico con il plugin Gutenberg disattivato

Se si desidera disabilitare Gutenberg per determinati ruoli utente e tipi di post, questo metodo consente di farlo.

Per prima cosa, è necessario installare e attivare il plugin Disable Gutenberg. Se avete bisogno di aiuto, potete consultare la nostra guida passo-passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.

Dopo l’attivazione, è necessario visitare la pagina Impostazioni ” Disabilita Gutenberg per configurare le impostazioni del plugin.

Disable Gutenberg settings

Di default, il plugin disabilita Gutenberg ovunque per tutti gli utenti del sito web. Tuttavia, se si desidera limitarlo a determinati ruoli di utenti e tipi di contenuto, è necessario deselezionare l’opzione “Disabilita completamente”.

Deselezionandola, si visualizzeranno altre opzioni per disabilitare selettivamente Gutenberg per determinati ruoli utente, tipi di post, modelli di temi o singoli post.

Selectively disable Gutenberg

Questa opzione è utile se si utilizza un plugin di WordPress non compatibile con Gutenberg, ma si desidera utilizzare Gutenberg per altre aree del sito.

WordPress è il builder di siti web più diffuso al mondo e alimenta oltre il 43% di tutti i siti web presenti su Internet. Dispone di migliaia di plugin e temi e alimenta tutti i tipi di siti web, dai negozi di e-commerce alle community di iscritti.

Molti di questi plugin sono ora compatibili con l’editor a blocchi. Ad esempio, WPForms include un blocco personalizzato per i moduli di contatto che consente di inserire facilmente i moduli in qualsiasi pagina o post con l’editor a blocchi.

Tuttavia, molti strumenti di terze parti si basano ancora pesantemente sul classico editor di WordPress e potrebbero non essere pienamente compatibili con l’editor a blocchi.

In tal caso, queste impostazioni potrebbero essere molto utili.

Non dimenticate di cliccare sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per salvare le impostazioni.

Speriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato a disabilitare Gutenberg e a mantenere il classico editor in WordPress. Potreste anche voler consultare il nostro elenco di domande comuni su Gutenberg o la nostra guida su come disabilitare l’editor a schermo intero in WordPress.

  1. classic editor has been great for writing content and specially for bloggers where the main aim is to publish regular content.
    moreover, making table is a lot of easier when it comes to classic editor whereas Gutenberg editor still lags flexibility in table customisations.
    I had to use classic editor mainly for making table.
    Is there a way we can have both the editors and can make a switch to utilise the best features of both the editors?
    or will we need to disable one to use the other?

    • You would need to only use one editor at a time as swapping editors can cause formatting issues.

  2. One of the issues with Gutenberg that has bothered me is the absence of the ‘Show Revisions’ feature, which is available in the classic editor. Another problem is that Ctrl+Z doesn’t work in this editor, and I’m always afraid that my writing might be lost due to an internet interruption, WordPress hang-ups, or any other reasons.

  3. As a new beginner on wordpress, I found that classic editor is easy for me to use.
    Should I continue using it or I should train myself to use block editor from now

    Rispondi

    • If possible it would be good to start learning the block editor as WordPress updates there will be more and more added to the block editor.

  4. Thanks a lot. I did not know it could be so quick to get rid of the new wordpress text editor. I used the plugin you recommended.

    Rispondi

  5. WOW! Did this article “find me” at the right time! I think this is the best WordPress site on the internet, have been following it a long time and decided put foot in the waters and test a new site with WordPress 6.0.1 (local install). The toggle button popping up and hiding all the dashboard options was driving me crazy every time I tried to create a new page or post! Have been sitting here all day trying to figure out stop the Dashboard menu from dissappearing. Didn’t realize it was Gutenberg vs Classic Editor. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST wpbeginner! :-) :-) :-)

  7. Unfortunately I can’t install the plugin as it requires me to have a Business Plan. I know I had plugins on my blogs but can’t install any now. Have been forced into block editor.

    Rispondi

  8. Hi, I’ve downloaded the plug in for the classic Editor since I couldn’t figure out how to Indent paragraph in the Block editor. I’m now able to “indent” a paragraph in the Classic Editor. I then save the Classic editor and close it.

    However, as soon as I open the Classic Editor, my “indents” are gone (Even though I had saved my post)? I’m used to the Block Editor, but it’s missing some functionalities (like indents). Not sure what to do? I prefer not to use the Classic Editor too much, only for the missing functionalities. Can we not use both?

    Rispondi

    • You would not want to swap between editors as that can cause different issues like the one you are running into. For those situations, you would want to use the Classic block for that styling or stay in the classic editor.

  9. Hi,

    installing the classic editor was easy on WP 5.6
    Only thing is that the classic “look” is not there ? It has a different interface ?

    Rispondi

    • You would want to ensure you’ve enabled the classic editor in the plugin’s settings for it to be visible.

  10. I’m using wordpress.org, but when I go to the writing settings this option isn’t there..? I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong

    • You would want to ensure the plugin is installed and activated for the option to be available.

  11. I’m using WordPress COM. On Oct 1, 2020 when I added a post to my blog I was shocked to discover that the familiar Classic interface had been replaced by Gutenberg without my permission.

    Even worse, when I tried to restore the Classic interface I got this message — “To install plugins you need to upgrade to a business plan.”

    Rispondi

    • You would need to reach out to WordPress.com’s support for what the current options that they have available are without upgrading to be able to use plugins. Our guides are for WordPress.org sites currently.

      Rispondi

      Admin

    • On free plans, you can’t install the plugin, but it’s still possible to use the old editor. Go to the WP Admin page which is located at blogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin. Click Posts->All Posts to get a list of your posts. If you hover over a post title, you can choose Classic Editor below it. Note: This may not work if your WP account is new.

  13. Hi,
    I recently updated my site to WP 5.5.1 – no choice, but Gutenberg. When I install the Classic Editor plugin, the article previews get a 404 error. Any ideas, whether it’s the theme or other plugins interferring?

    Rispondi

  14. I happened to do a fresh WP installation last night and noticed that block editing is the default status as now the block editor is built into the WP core. A couple years ago I installed the Gutenberg plugin. Is it possible to uninstall the plugin and retain the block editor or will uninstalling the Gutenberg plugin disable block editing? It would be a disaster to uninstall it and find pages and posts created with the Gutenberg plugin all in a mess.

    Rispondi

  15. Hi. I have been using the Classic Editor plugin, but isn’t there an expiration to that? I thought I remember they will require everyone to move over to Gutenburg by a certain date. Do you know about this?

    I ask because I was going to hire someone to recreate my blog in Gutenburg blocks… because I thought I had to eventually. But I don’t want to do the dust has settled on Gutenburg and all the kinks are worked out.

    Advice?

    Rispondi

    • They mention this on the Classic editor plugin page itself. Currently, the plugin will be supported until 2022, or as long as necessary.

      Rispondi

      Admin

    • Some people think that which is why the Classic Editor plugin is available, should you not want to use the block editor you can use that plugin. We would recommend trying the block editor when you can as it has improved over time.

      Rispondi

  20. I’ve read the post above and do not see these options when I look at settings on my 2nd site. When I choose plug-ins, I get the message that I have to upgrade to a paid plan in order to be able to use either the disable gutenberg plugin or the classic editor plugin.

    Is this correct? People with free sites are not allowed to disable the “new block editor”? Thank you.

    Rispondi

    • Our tutorials are for WordPress.org sites, not WordPress.com sites. WordPress.com should be able to let you know the options available but they may have an option in the top right of the post editor unless it has been removed

  21. In trying to find a way out of Gutenberg I installed Classic Editor, also Classic Editor add-on, and then finally Disable Gutenberg. A third party tool I used to use used to work perfectly for months. Now it does not, even with this plugins. Do I have too many plugins at this point? Suggestions? Thank you.

    Rispondi

    • You would only want one plugin for the classic editor active, you may be running into a conflict between the plugins that is preventing the classic editor from displaying.

      Rispondi

      Admin

    • If neither of these plugins was able to revert you to the classic editor, you may want to disable your other plugins to ensure this isn’t a plugin conflict.

      Rispondi

      Admin

  23. Thank you, I don’t like Gutenberg at all, and was able to get my website, which I’m still working on, back to normal.

    Rispondi

    • Glad our guide can help, as Gutenberg evolves the editing experience should improve for the future :)

      Rispondi

      Admin

  24. You cannot install ANY plugins on WordPress if you don’t “upgrade to the business plan” as is what happens when you go to the plugin page. For the zillions of us who have blogs on there and are forced into the block editor, what do we do?

    Rispondi

  25. Gutenberg is very annoying. Add the below code to your theme function file

    add_filter(‘use_block_editor_for_post’, ‘__return_false’);

    Save and have fun.

    Rispondi

    • That is one method, we recommended the plugins as those are easier for beginners to disable if they would like to use the editor in the future

  26. I’ve been using the Classic Editor for awhile now and it works great. Some of my editing features are missing though. There is no longer an option to change the color or font size and underline is missing too. Is there a way to fix that?

    Rispondi

  27. Thanks! Your post about the classic editor plugin solved my issue with new default editor of WordPress immediately!

    • Glad our recommendation worked, it is continuing to be developed so as it is worked on the editing experience should improve :)

  30. I gave myself two weeks to adjust to this and reinstalled the old editor months ago on my personal site. Now I’m having to work with it again for a client and man do I hate this editor.

    • There is a learning curve but this editor should hopefully reduce the barrier to entry for new users to WordPress

      Admin

  31. I used your method and it worked instantly… after hours of despair!
    Super Mega Thank you!!!

    Would you have any estimated idea of when wordpress developer intend to force everyone to use the Gutenberg editor?

    Where best to leave them feedback?

    It messes up my whole website structure and all of a sudden pictures disappeared from post without me being able to access.

    Rispondi

    • The classic editor plugin plans to be officially supported until December 2021 at the moment. If you visit the Gutenberg plugin page they have information on how to leave feedback :)

  32. THank you for the article. I have searched for hours trying to get my drafts saved and my posts published with no success. I even played the permissions in the files sections of my cPanel. Nothing worked until after many searches through WordPress forums and after reading 10’s of Google suggestions on “How to get my posts saved” or “Posts won’t save in WordPress” I finally found your article and I didn’t know that was so simple to solve that problem. I simply installed the plugin Classic Editor and it worked right away! Thanks again!

    Rispondi

  33. Thank you for the informative article. The new editor is the most time consuming and complicated editor ever, (this thing is unresponsive and lugs continuously) which they shoved it to our throats. forcing us to run yet another plugin, for something that didn’t need a plugin in the first place.
    Thank you again for the article.

    Keep on sharing this great information all the time you are such a great help.

  40. Ive been experiencing issues with the editors today. We had the Classic editor installed on a few sites but two of them will now not change to text tab view from visual tab in the editor screen. Both have Bakery visual builder plugin installed which i thought might be the issue but even when disabling that plugin i still have same issue. Ive tried both suggested plugins and get the same results. Im now looking for any other option as really dont want to use Guttenburg. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks.

    Rispondi

    • We would recommend first reaching out to the support for the classic editor plugin to see if this is a known issue or if they have a recommended solution.

  42. Thank God for Classic Editor!!!!! Hahahaha. The new WP was a culture shock for me when I went back to blogging.

    Rispondi

  44. Oh, Thank you very much! It works like charm! I love you! You save me from so much stress. You’re a lifesaver. It works like charm.

    Rispondi

  45. Thank you for the instructions! We went with option 1 and it put us back on the classic editor. Worked like a charm!

    Thank you!

    Rispondi

  46. I have tried all of the instructions offered above and unfortunately for me, any page that i open to edit with classic editor contains nothing but red wavy lines. I do not have time to try more failed suggestions, so please tell me how to revert back to a previous word press version that worked as advertised.
    Thank you.

    Rispondi

  47. Hi, I’m currently taking way longer than intended whenever I’m writing a new post. My editing tool bar doesn’t have the tools i need it to have and is very limited, as it seems to be not compatible with the puglin I downloaded for it to adjust to my needs. As I was half through a post when I decided to install the new version of WordPress, it wasn’t as hard to use because i had little work left to do. So my question here is: if I download the classic editor, will my published post (that used images blocks) remain the way it is right now? Or will it be altered when i switch back to classic one?

    Thank you,
