Gutenbye vs Kadence Blocks

A very simple plugin to disable the Block Editor (formerly known as Gutenberg) and restore the classic WordPress editing experience. There are no settings. If Guten-bye is active, the Block Editor will be disabled for all registered post types and the original “Classic” editor will be used in its place.

Kadence Blocks extends the WordPress block editor with powerful custom blocks and advanced design controls, helping you build fast, accessible, and professional websites, without writing code. Each block is built with performance, accessibility, and flexibility in mind, giving you the tools to create visually impressive layouts while maintaining clean, optimized output.
