WordPress version 5.0 is officially released/Gutenberg editor is enabled by default/Restore the classic editor using the Classic Editor plug-in

When I opened the WordPress backend at noon today, I found a prompt to update to the latest version 5.0. Snails generally like new things, so I wanted to try it out. In fact, I heard that WordPress version 5.0 will launch the new Gutenberg. (Gutenberg) article editor, but I didn’t think that much about it at the time. After updating to version 5.0, I was about to publish two articles and found something was wrong. The article editing function became a brand new Gutenberg. It seems to be much more advanced and very sci-fi, but it is not Chinese-language. In addition, because I am used to the default editor of the old version, it is very inconvenient to use. The version 5.0 editor is as shown below.

However, the new version of the Gutenberg editor is indeed cool, but Snail is not used to it and wants to use the original editor. So I considered restoring the database, but after restoring the database, since WordPress has been updated to version 5.0, it was automatically prompted to upgrade the database after restoring the database. After upgrading the database, the default is still the Gutenberg editor. In this way, reinstalling WordPress seems a bit troublesome. So I wanted to find out if there is any other way to achieve it. Finally, I found a better plug-in called Classic Editor. After using it, the Gutenberg editor and the old version of the default editor can coexist. Moreover, the default is the old version of the editor below 5.0, and you can switch to it at any time. The Gutenberg editor has become much more convenient. You can experience the new version or continue to use the old version.
