New Classic Editor Addon Plugin Disables the “Try Gutenberg” Prompt Coming in...

“For agencies supporting many sites, whose users have no way of knowing whether Gutenberg will break their site or not, this nag screen is a danger,” Schoppe commented on our most recent Gutenberg update. “Pre-emptively installing Classic Editor unfortunately won’t suppress the nag notice either, but since Classic Editor is being used as a bellwether of the success of Gutenberg, it’s important that you install it, if you expect issues.”

I am definitely going to have to consider this, and hosting WordPress remains a struggle between letting site ops run amok install as they please, or keep a site locked down so members have to hold a hand to get anything done…

Of course, one way to mitigate these kinds of decisions is to completely decouple the editor experience from the WP codebase, maybe with a custom WordPress editor.
