    In the current versions of WordPress, the rich text editor can be replaced with a simple editor that consists of pretty much just an HTML textarea tag.

    When Gutenberg is merged with core will this option for a simple HTML textarea still exist in the core?

  • Hey @dzaikos
    in the current Gutenberg version you can switch between the Visual and the Code Editor. You have to click on the three dots in the top right corner.

    It is also possible to replace Gutenberg via a plugin with the old Classic Editor: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/classic-editor/

    Yeah, but Gutenberg’s “code” editor is not really the same thing and the classic editor plugin doesn’t include the plain HTML box like the core does now.

    Gutenberg, in my opinion, sucks. Especially on iPad where I do most of my writing (it’s pretty much unusable with typed text appearing below the viewport and the screen constantly jumping around). If I can’t have a simple textarea then I’d have to write my own editor and I simply don’t want to put that much work into something that should otherwise be frictionless.

    I haven’t tested Gutenberg on the iPad yet. If there are problems with writing and editing, please open an issue on Github: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues
    You also can create issues for features, like the HTML box in Gutenberg.
