Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Classic Editor +
The release of WordPress 5.0 came with a replacement of the TinyMCE editor you had gotten used to for adding or editing content. Some find it an improvement, others don't. More information can be found on the WP 5.0 release post.
The Classic Editor plugin does not remove any of the frontend styling, even when one selects the option to disable the block editor. In terms of site optimisation that is not good practice. This "Classic Editor +" simply removes the block editor and all its styling from both frontend and backend and if your site uses WooCommerce, it also removes block styling related to that from the frontend.
Version 4.0 of the "Classic Editor +" plugin has been a complete rewrite (and simplification) and it is no longer depending on the Classic Editor plugin. When the latter is active, it will be deactivated and then you can safely remove it.
