* Before Gutenberg, it was easy to click on the “view as html” button to edit the
code of your post content. It made it possible to add divs and classes to specific
paragraphs. It was an easy way to do with code what is now tackled with Gutenberg.
Well, now I have a plethora of pages that have been converted to Gutenberg but
still have the original code and a new theme to take advantage of Gutenberg and
because old themes rely on old PHP.
* Some pages end up looking like I can’t wordpress because I can’t access the html
view of my posts’ content field to fix them.
* Am I missing something? There needs to be a way for me to get in there and look
at the code of my post content. How do I do this now?
