Getting out of Gutenberg Screens on WordCamp.org

Update: GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ is no longer set as the default editor, and all of the add/edit links will take you to the classic editor.

To add a new post/page with Gutenberg, navigate to the All Posts screen, then click on the down arrow on the Add New button, then click on the Gutenberg link.

To edit an existing post with Gutenberg, browse to the All Posts screen, hover your mouse over the post’s row, and click on the Gutenberg Editor link.


If you are an organiser of a WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy.

Since Gutenberg version 1.5, the Gutenberg editor has now become the default editor on all WordCamp sites and has led to some confusion.

We understand that if you are in the midst of an upcoming WordCamp in the near future, you may not want to get to grips with the new editor – so I have complied the following instructions on how to get back to the Classic Editor on WordCamp.org
