Hi @joekoday,
We removed support for the classic editor since the block editor (Gutenberg) has been the default in WordPress since 2018. With this release manual use of the [dg] shortcode would be necessary in order for use within the classic editor.
That said, based on feedback from both of y’all it sounds like more people are relying on the classic editor than expected. We can re-introduce support for it. Look for a new release re-adding support today or tomorrow. In the meantime, suggest downgrading back to version 4.4.

Hi Dan, thank you for the quick response — and for all your efforts. Document Gallery just might be the most important plug-in I use. Nearly every one of my 150+ clients has a PDF “flyer table.” And if don’t have a flyer table, they have documents, and insurance forms, and just a host of PDF uses. I’ve looked for *years* and nothing touches Document Gallery in terms of elegance and simplicity of use.
No sir, I don’t use the block editor at all. The “Classic Editor” plugin is the very FIRST plugin I install on a new site.
Ok – version 5.1 just released should restore compatibility with the classic editor. If you notice any regressions in functionality following upgrade, please let me know here and we’ll get it figured out!

Oh, that’s a beautiful sight to see! Everything looks good. I’ll thoroughly test it out over the next couple of days.
Thank you, Dan, for your extremely prompt reply!
@joekoday Excellent to hear!! Please do let me know if anything looks out of place.
I did notice some weird editor behavior in classic while testing this release, but the same behavior was in 4.4.4 so didn’t want to delay this release for that. But it is on my list to investigate and resolve.
