 * I would like to use gutemberg only for some users. For the basic user I would
   like you to use the classic editor. in settings I put the classic as standard,
   more when going in a new post opens with gutemberg enabled. How to make the classic
   by default work?

 * You can use a plugin to do this for you, like [Disable Gutenberg](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/),
   which has the options to enable it per post type or just for certain users.
 * Alternatively you can find some instructions on how to selectively enable Gutenberg
   at [this blog post](https://digwp.com/2018/12/enable-gutenberg-block-editor/)
   by the plugin Author.

 * I installed the plugin and deselected all options. left checked for the option
   to disable the editor for posts and still disable it or not on the entire site,
   including the pages that need to be activated.

 * it didn’t work out, as I reported in my answer. It was to disable only for post.
   But it deactivates for the whole site.

 * You must have it configured incorrectly. It ticks some options by default, you
   would need to untick them. But if its broken, please open a support issue with
   the plugin developer (I use it myself on several hundred sites, and I know its
   not broken). I also provided you the link to implement the conditional yourself
   via your functions.php.

 * I repeat, leaving the plugin enabled to disable gutemberg just for posting, makes
   gutemberg stop working on the entire site
