Thank you for the heads up

"until you are ready to handle it." , That sounds like this may be quite a handful, hope it goes well for all of the users.

Always important to do when an update is released. Good way to screw up everything you've previously done. 

Corinne Guest Thanks for the important info.

While I use WordPress for the basic platform for all of my websites, I use Thrive Themes as my editing program.

Still, I'm going to have to check this out for compatability.

Thanks, again!

   I remember when WordPress was easy.  Most people could DIY.   Those days seem to be fading away.

This community is so helpful!

OY! Thank for the heads-up, Corinne! I hadn't hit update yet (I like to do them manually) so, I will hold-off.

Wow, thank you!

Two Words:  

OH CRAP

Corinne Guest I just closed my WordPress site (sold it for a good price) so I'm glad I do not need to deal with the change.

nothing's easy....

Thanks for the heads up.

Whoa... thanks for the heads up, Corinne!

Thank you for the heads up, Corinne.

No.

Thank you puppy mama, I will ping my web guy now.

That is good to know, thank you, Corinne.

I am no longer a Wordpress user.

Yes.  Not concerned about Gutenberg, my site editor doesn't use it.  Disabling auto updates is a pain though.  Will want to run it in my staging first.

Thanks for letting us know. A

I update manually so holding off for now. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for sharing this information.  I was not aware of this change.

I saw this too late, but It seems things are catching up. Luckily nothing was ruined.

Corinne Guest thanks for the heads up.

Yep! We learned that the hard way! Some of our sites broke!
And many hosting companies force the update even if you have auto updates turned off. Always something to have to scramble to work on!

Well, too late, I upgraded and it is a major PITA. Completely different. Seems to be made for a graphic designer with elements of QuarkXPress, remember that? LOL. 3 different scrolly bars. Not logical or well thought out. But I'm getting through it.

There is one new feature I really like but I forgot what it is because there are so many features I do not like.

I don't have a WP site, but good heads up.

Yes. It's going to be a little bit touch and go for a lot of us using more than a few plugins.

I did not, thanks

I hate changes.

Make sure to make a backup of site and database before updating.

I saw this yesterday, but was unable to comment.  I read the article from the link provided, but being that I am such a novice with website building, I am not sure if it will affect my websites or not.  I built my websites on Wordpress using Beaver Builder plugin, it was really easy to use at first, but even now it is difficult to use after an update a while back.  It sounds like eventually I will need to learn a lot more if I want to continue to update my websites.

I saw it, but haven't updated yet. Thanks for the heads up! I might reconsider for a while. 

Didn't know thanks for the info and worth a peak... I suppose this might also have ripples through the website creation business 

Yes, been waiting for it. However, my site is now currently undergoing a complete overhaul so I will wait until after that and the RETS feed is in-place before "upgrading" to Gutenberg.

Good to have a heads up!.. thank you, will keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds risky!

Thanks for the info!
