Hi Tammie,

Most of the customizations I added were cosmetic – ie, css for custom bullet points, tweaking some of the PHP code for the header. Nothing that should interfere with Gutenberg.

But I noticed that several of my plugins no longer showed up in the editor to add their shortcodes or functions to my text. Also, the theme comes baked with several shortcodes and those where nowhere to be found or their options to add.

I also have Divi Builder added to my site and the option to use that to customize a post was no longer functioning.

The other thing that bothered me, the theme has several publishing customizations:
– dropcap
– toggle on/off header/footer
– toggle on/off social sharebar
– FTC disclosure
– where I want my featured image to appear

All of these options and more were under the “Publish” box. With Gutenberg enabled, those options disappeared and I could no longer customize each post as I saw fit.

I hope that helps.

Personally, I would like to see Gutenberg as an editing option, not the main editing option. Buy incorporating both classic and gutenberg as editing options will make WordPress stronger.

That would give users the ability to choose which editor they would like.

For page building, I think Gutenberg is a better choice, but for blogging, the classic editor is where it makes the most sense.

People want to simply copy and paste their post without having to figure out which Gutenberg option to use.

Please keep both and let the end user decide which editor they want to use.

From my perspective, this editor has potential, but I don’t think you’re there yet.
