Generate Blocks with Classic editor - Is it possible?
3 replies · Started by milan on April 29, 2021
Hello, Iam working with Classic editor (I do not want Guttenberg) in latest WP and GP Premium. I would like to try Generate Blocks plugin, but...
Is it possible to use this plugin, create some block/element and place him to html in classic editor?
I have installed already this plugin, but I do not know how to start, I saw some video tutorials, but did not found any solution for my option.
Thanks for help.
Hi there,
Block plugins are not built to work within the Classic editor.
The only way to do this would require running a WP Install with the Block Editor, build the content within the block editor and then manually extract the CSS and HTML from the site.
Ok, thanks, so if i have about hundreds of subpages already created in classic editor... I can not use this plugin, ok?
It is not possible for me to rebuild all these subpages again...
You can't use it in the Classic Editor.
You can of course disable the Classic editor - WordPress will then use the Block Editor and your existing Post Content will be output in a Classic Editor Block, and it provides you the option to Convert them to Blocks.
I would suggest you make a Staging copy of the site to test this, in case you have any content that may not convert correctly to Blocks.
