Gutenberg Conversion – It’s Easy!

I’ve been converting sites to use the Gutenberg block editor and removing the classic editor.

Unfortunately there’s no way to automatically do it to all posts / pages at once but this could be a good thing as it does mean I can check each one as I do it. Fortunately, none of my sites are particularly massive!

It’s easy to do:

1. Disable the classic editor plugin, or at least ensure you have the option ‘Allow User To Choose Editor’ switched on.
2. Open up the post or page. This will add the existing content into a new ‘classic’ block.
3. Select the classic block, and go to the ‘burger’ menu in its toolbar.
4. From there select ‘Convert to blocks’ and bingo!

It really is that easy!
