No Gutenberg? – Choose Where to Use the Block Editor or the Classic Editor vs OH MY SVG

The most configurable way to leave the block editor behind. Activate it and everything block related is gone: the block editor, Global Styles, patterns, block widgets, the Site Editor and the block CSS and JavaScript that every page loads. From there you decide the scope: everywhere, or only for the post types, roles, templates and entries you choose. What this plugin removes: Core Gutenberg Features Gutenberg Block Editor (completely disabled) Full Site Editing (FSE) Global Styles and inline CSS Block-based Widget Editor (reverts to Classic Widgets) Block Patterns and Pattern Directory Theme.json support and processing Block Directory integration Site Editor functionality Performance Optimizations The block library CSS and JavaScript that every page loads The Global Styles inline CSS, which dequeuing the handle never reaches The block assets of any other plugin that registers blocks, on pages where no block appears The block editor assets in the admin, wherever the Classic Editor is the one opening WooCommerce Integration The block based product editor, which follows the same rules as any other post type The WooCommerce block styles and scripts, removed along with the rest of the block assets Nothing else: leave blocks on for products and the block product editor keeps working Admin Experience Removes the welcome panel that promotes the block editor Removes the Patterns submenu from the Appearance menu (WP 6.5+) Removes the Fonts submenu from the Appearance menu (WP 7.0+) Blocks access to Site Editor pages Shows activation success notice Warns you when a block theme is active Adds settings and support links to plugin actions A default that asks nothing, and a settings page for everything else – Activating the plugin disables the block editor and every block feature across the site, which is what most people install it for. The rest of this page is about wanting less than that. Full control when you need it – The settings page lives under Settings > No Gutenberg?, built around one master switch. Leave it on and the whole site keeps the complete disable. Turn it off and you decide where the block editor goes away: by post type, by user role, by page template or by individual entry. The site wide pieces (classic widgets, block patterns, frontend block assets, theme.json and the Site Editor) are then yours to keep or remove one by one. Every checkbox means the same thing, so no setting ever undoes another one. Switch editors entry by entry, where it makes sense – Editor switching is chosen per post type, right next to the rule that disables the block editor. Enable it for pages, for instance, and every page gets “Edit (Classic)” and “Edit (Blocks)” links in the list plus a switch inside both editors, while your posts stay untouched. Each entry remembers the editor chosen for it, and that choice beats the rules in both directions: one landing page can stay on the Classic Editor while the rest keep blocks, or the other way around. It tells you what it is doing – The settings screen opens with a status panel for your particular site: how many block patterns are being blocked, how much weight is off every page, whether your theme is a block theme, and how much of your published content is really built with blocks. That last number is the one that should decide whether you strip the block styles from the frontend or not, and no other plugin tells you. Built for agencies and managed sites – The whole configuration can be fixed from wp-config.php, and the settings screen locked as read only or hidden altogether, so a site you deliver keeps the setup you left behind. A whole network configured in one file – This is where the plugin stands alone. Every single setting it has, and not just which editor opens, can be written in wp-config.php, the same file every site of a multisite network reads. A network of a hundred sites is set up once, all of them with the same rules, all of them with the same block CSS gone, and none of them able to drift away from it. The plugin can also be network activated and left alone, because settings are stored per site, so a network can equally let each site decide for itself. Same mechanism as the locking above, and this is how it is written. One configuration for a whole network, or for a site you deliver Everything the settings screen does can also be written in wp-config.php, where nobody changes it by accident, and what you write there wins over whatever is stored in the database. It is the same file for every site of a multisite network, so it is also how you set up a network without repeating the configuration site by site. Add the lines you need above the comment that says “That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing.” To disable Gutenberg everywhere and leave no settings screen for anyone to touch, which is the usual setup both for a network and for a site you hand over to a client: define( 'NO_GUTENBERG_OPTIONS', array( 'complete' => true ) ); define( 'NO_GUTENBERG_HIDE_SETTINGS', true ); Drop that second line and the settings page is still there, showing the configuration the site is really running, but read only. And if all you want is to lock the screen, leaving the configuration as each site has it stored: define( 'NO_GUTENBERG_LOCK_SETTINGS', true ); NO_GUTENBERG_OPTIONS takes any of the settings on the screen, so a selective setup is written the same way: define( 'NO_GUTENBERG_OPTIONS', array( 'complete' => false, 'disable_post_types' => array( 'post', 'page' ), 'disable_roles' => array( 'editor', 'author' ), 'frontend_css' => false, ) ); The keys are the settings on the screen. complete, widgets, patterns, frontend_css, theme_json, site_editor and fse_notices take true or false, while disable_post_types, disable_roles, disable_templates and switch_post_types take an array of slugs, and disable_ids an array of entry IDs. Any key you leave out keeps the value stored on the site. Note that defining NO_GUTENBERG_OPTIONS already turns the whole screen read only, so NO_GUTENBERG_LOCK_SETTINGS is not needed on top of it. It fits sites that: – Work better in the Classic Editor and want it back – Run classic themes and plugins that were never built around blocks – Are paying for block CSS and JavaScript on pages with no blocks in them – Need the Classic Editor for everyone except a few post types, roles or people – Are a multisite network that wants the same editing experience on every site Support Need private support or custom development?

Enhance your WordPress website with the power of SVG images using the OH MY SVG plugin. Easily add, manipulate, and optimize SVG images directly within the Gutenberg block editor. Unlike traditional image blocks, this plugin provides an intuitive interface that allows you to incorporate SVG icons, illustrations, or HTML snippets effortlessly. Experience the convenience of automatic markup sanitation, SVGO optimization, and a range of built-in utilities like color customization, stroke adjustments, and element stripping. 🌟 Smart Dual Storage Modes (New!) One of the biggest issues with using SVGs in WordPress is database bloat. If you paste a heavy SVG directly into the editor, its entire XML markup gets saved into every single post revision, quickly cluttering your database. OH MY SVG solves this by offering two distinct storage modes: Inline Mode (Best for tiny icons): The SVG markup is embedded directly within the page’s HTML. This drastically reduces page load time by eliminating server requests and conserving bandwidth. Ideal for small, lightweight vectors. Media Library Mode (Best for heavy illustrations): To prevent database bloat, this mode saves the SVG behind the scenes as a custom post meta attached to the WordPress Media Library. The plugin automatically generates a lightweight PNG proxy image so you can see it in your media grid. On the front end, it renders cleanly using a data URI, keeping your post content light, your database clean, and your page performance high. Unleash your creativity with endless possibilities—animate SVGs using CSS or JavaScript, modify inner colors, and scale infinitely without losing sharpness. Svg are awesome because: ✌️ Pixel Perfect: SVGs render sharply on any screen and resolution. 🗄️ Zero Database Bloat: Choose to link heavy SVGs to the Media Library, keeping your post content and revisions lightweight. 🎨 In-Editor Editing: Customize colors, add strokes, and remove fills to create variations directly in Gutenberg. ⚡ Performance Boost: Use inline SVGs to save dozens of HTTP requests and reduce server download bandwidth. 🛠️ Built-in Optimizer: Automatically compress and optimize markup using the integrated SVGO tool. 🎉 Developer Friendly: Easy to animate with CSS and JavaScript since they render as DOM elements or standard image tags. 🔒 Security First The OH MY SVG plugin prioritizes your website’s security. By default, WordPress blocks raw SVG file uploads due to severe XML/XSS vulnerabilities. This plugin keeps that protection intact. Instead of allowing dangerous direct .svg uploads, our plugin safely processes the SVG markup within the editor using a robust JavaScript purifier (DOMPurify). When saving to the Media Library, it creates a harmless PNG proxy file and securely stores the sanitized SVG string as an attachment metadata field. SVGs cannot be maliciously uploaded from the website “side” (e.g., frontend forms); only trusted users with editor permissions can include them.
