<h4>UIkit library</h4>
Please be aware that this plugin does not include the UIkit library in your website. You need to do this by yourself. We decided not to include the library so that you can modify UIkit to your own needs before loading it.
You’ll find an example how to include it in your theme’s <code>functions.php</code> in the <a href="https://github.com/dobaniashish/uikit-blocks#uikit-library" rel="nofollow ugc">documentation</a>.
<h4>Templates</h4>
All blocks are implemented as <a href="https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/designers-developers/developers/tutorials/block-tutorial/creating-dynamic-blocks/" rel="ugc">dynamic blocks</a>. This makes it possible to overwrite the template of a block in your theme.
To overwrite a block template, you can copy the original template from the plugin into your theme directory in the same path as a starting point and adjust it to your needs.

UIkit Blocks

Jeff Starr

This plugin disables the new Gutenberg Editor (aka Block Editor) and replaces it with the Classic Editor. You can disable Gutenberg completely, or selectively disable for posts, pages, roles, post types, and theme templates. Plus you can hide the Gutenberg nag, menu item, and more!
<blockquote>

 ♠ Hide ALL traces of Gutenberg and replace with Classic Editor. 
 ♠ Restores original Edit Post screen (TinyMCE, meta boxes, etc.).
</blockquote>
The Disable Gutenberg plugin restores the classic (original) WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen. So you can continue using plugins and theme functions that extend the Classic Editor. Supports awesome features like Meta Boxes, Quicktags, Custom Fields, and everything else the Classic Editor can do.
Easy to Use
Just activate and done! The default plugin settings are configured to hide all traces of the Gutenberg Block Editor, and fully restore the original Classic Editor. Further options for customizing when/where Gutenberg is enabled are available in the plugin settings.

Super light & fast plugin, super easy on server resources!
Why?
Gutenberg is a useful editor but sometimes you want to disable it for specific posts, pages, user roles, post types, and/or theme templates. This plugin enables you to disable Gutenberg and replace it with the Classic Editor wherever you want. For example, lots of WordPress users already enjoy robust page-building functionality via one of the many great plugins like Composer or Elementor. So many options, no need to feel “locked in” to using Gutenberg!

Disable Gutenberg

Excellent plugin

Awsome


Thank you! I like using the plugin on my personal site.


Thanks


Very useful--restores Wordpress to the way I need it--clean and, easy-to-edit.


Very useful--restores Wordpress to the way I need it


I can't really imagine Wordpress without this plugin. The nonsense called Gutenberg reliably eliminates and nothing else is needed.


The most important plugin the wordpress world needs


Sometimes the block editor is fine to use, but glad this plugin was made. 



Cheers.


Annoying that this is still required in 2025

Disable Gutenberg Block Editor and restore the Classic Editor and original Edit Post screen (TinyMCE, meta boxes, etc.).
