Cómo desactivar Gutenberg y mantener el editor clásico en WordPress

Gutenberg es el nuevo editor de bloques de WordPress y se introdujo por primera vez en WordPress 5.0 allá por diciembre de 2018.

No a todo el mundo le gusta el cambio: a algunos usuarios les resulta difícil trabajar con él y muchos quieren seguir con lo que conocen.

Así que, si echas de menos el editor clásico, no estás solo.

En este artículo, te mostraremos cómo desactivar Gutenberg y conservar el editor clásico en unos sencillos pasos.

Disable Gutenberg and keep classic editor in WordPress

¿Qué es Gutenberg?

Gutenberg es el nombre del editor de bloques de WordPress. Fue creado para hacer más moderna la escritura en WordPress.

Intenta funcionar como un plugin maquetador de páginas y permite arrastrar y soltar elementos en una entrada o página. El objetivo es ofrecer más flexibilidad y activar a los usuarios de WordPress para crear disposiciones únicas para su contenido con contenido multimedia enriquecido.

WordPress block editor on the 2021 theme

Desde la versión de WordPress 5.0, el editor de bloques ha sido el editor por defecto en WordPress.

Por qué desactivar el editor Gutenberg en WordPress?

Muchos propietarios de sitios web que llevan años utilizando WordPress se sienten más cómodos con el editor clásico. Además, como el editor de bloques es relativamente nuevo, es posible que algunos plugins no sean totalmente compatibles con él.

Afortunadamente, hay formas de utilizar el editor clásico, incluso en WordPress 5.0 o posterior.

En la siguiente sección, te mostraremos cómo desactivar Gutenberg fácilmente y seguir usando el editor clásico de WordPress.

Aquí tienes un resumen de todos los métodos que compartiremos en esta guía:

¿Preparados? Primeros pasos.

Método 1. Desactivar Gutenberg con el plugin WPCode (Recomendado)

En WPBeginner, recomendamos desactivar Gutenberg usando el plugin WPCode, el mejor plugin de fragmentos de código para WordPress.

WPCode's homepage

WPCode hace que sea fácil añadir código personalizado en WordPress sin tener que editar el archivo functions.php de tu tema. Por lo tanto, no hay razón para preocuparse acerca de romper su sitio web de WordPress.

Este plugin también tiene incorporada una biblioteca de fragmentos de código que facilita la personalización de las funciones de WordPress.

En la biblioteca, encontrarás fragmentos de código verificados para solicitudes de características populares como desactivar Gutenberg, desactivar la API REST de WordPress, desactivar las actualizaciones automáticas y mucho más. Esto elimina la necesidad de instalar un montón de plugins de un solo uso.

Para empezar, necesitas instalar y activar el plugin gratuito WPCode. Si necesitas ayuda, consulta nuestra guía sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress para obtener instrucciones paso a paso.

Una vez activado el plugin, primero tendrá que ir a Fragmentos de código Biblioteca desde su escritorio de WordPress.

A continuación, deberás buscar el fragmento de código “Desactivar el editor de Gutenberg (usar el editor clásico)” y hacer clic en el botón “Usar fragmento de código”.

Search for the Disable Gutenberg snippet in WPCode library

En la siguiente pantalla, verás que WPCode ha añadido automáticamente el código.

También ha establecido el método de inserción adecuado y añadido un título y etiquetas para ayudarle a recordar para qué sirve el código.

WPCode Disable Gutenberg (use Classic Editor) snippet

A partir de aquí, todo lo que tienes que hacer es conmutar el interruptor de “Inactivo” a “Activo”.

Después, siga adelante y haga clic en el botón “Actualizar”.

Switch the code snippet to Active and click Update in WPCode

Ya está. El editor de bloques de Gutenberg ya está desactivado y puedes usar el editor Clásico.

Método 2. Desactiva Gutenberg con el plugin del editor clásico

Para este método, utilizaremos el plugin Classic Editor, desarrollado y mantenido por el núcleo de colaboradores de WordPress.

Lo primero que tienes que hacer es instalar y activar el plugin Classic Editor. Si necesitas ayuda, puedes consultar nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.

El plugin funciona fuera de la caja y desactivará el editor Gutenberg al activarlo.

También permite mantener Gutenberg y el editor clásico al mismo tiempo.

Puede establecerlo en los ajustes del plugin. Simplemente vaya a Ajustes “ Redacción en su área de administrador / administración de WordPress. Verás la opción de hacerlo en “Ajustes del editor clásico”.

Classic editor settings

No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar cambios” para establecer los ajustes.

Ahora verás un nuevo enlazar bajo el menú Entradas para crear nuevas entradas usando el editor clásico.

Switched to classic editor

También podrás editar artículos antiguos utilizando el editor clásico.

Simplemente ve a la página Entradas ” Todas las entradas, y verás un enlace ‘Editar (Clásico)’ debajo de las entradas.

The Edit classic button

Método 3. Usar el editor clásico con el plugin Gutenberg desactivado

Si quieres desactivar Gutenberg para ciertos perfiles de usuario y tipos de entradas, entonces este método te ayudará a hacerlo.

En primer lugar, necesitas instalar y activar el plugin Desactivar Gutenberg. Si necesitas ayuda, puedes consultar nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.

Una vez activado, deberá visitar la página Ajustes ” Desactivar Gutenberg para configurar los ajustes del plugin.

Disable Gutenberg settings

Por defecto, el plugin desactivará Gutenberg en todas partes para todos los usuarios de tu sitio web. Sin embargo, si quieres limitarlo a ciertos perfiles de usuario y tipos de entradas, tendrás que desactivar la opción “Desactivar por completo”.

Al desmarcarla se mostrarán más opciones para desactivar Gutenberg de forma selectiva para determinados perfiles de usuario, tipos de entradas, plantillas de temas o entradas individuales.

Selectively disable Gutenberg

Esta opción es útil si estás usando un plugin de WordPress que no es compatible con Gutenberg pero quieres usar Gutenberg para otras áreas de tu sitio.

WordPress es el maquetador de sitios web más popular del mundo, con más del 43% de todos los sitios web de Internet. Cuenta con miles de plugins y temas y permite crear todo tipo de sitios web, desde tiendas de comercio electrónico hasta comunidades de membresía.

Muchos de estos plugins son ahora compatibles con el editor de bloques. Por ejemplo, WPForms incluye un bloque de formulario de contacto personalizado que le permite insertar fácilmente sus formularios en cualquier entrada o página con el editor de bloques.

Sin embargo, muchas herramientas de terceros siguen dependiendo en gran medida del editor clásico de WordPress y puede que no sean totalmente compatibles con el editor de bloques.

Si es así, estos ajustes podrían serle muy útiles.

No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar cambios” para establecer los ajustes.

    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?

    • WPBeginner Support

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

    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.

  4. Ahmed Omar

    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

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

    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! :-) :-) :-)

    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.

    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?

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

    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 ?

    • WPBeginner Support

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

    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

    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.”

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

      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. Pam

    Thank you for this plugin. I’ll want to create blog posts again, thanks to this plugin! :-)

    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?

  15. Mark

    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.

    • WPBeginner Support

      If your site is up to date you should be able to uninstall the Gutenberg plugin safely.

    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?

    • WPBeginner Support

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

    The new block editor sucks.

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

    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.

    • WPBeginner Support

      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

    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.

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

  23. Sameer Kumar

    I have followed all the processes but my problem is not yet resulted.

    • WPBeginner Support

      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.

    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?

  26. Andrew

    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.

    • WPBeginner Support

      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

    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?

      Those were likely added by the tinyMCE Advanced plugin if you were using that previously

    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!

    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.

    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,

  49. Magnus Andersson

    Gutenberg is a disaster and it seriously inhibits my workflow. Thanks for your great advice.
