Classic Editor – who uses it?

Does anyone still use the WordPress Classic Editor? Well, stats at the plugin repository report +10 million active installations.

So, yes, the Classic Editor is still popular with WordPress users – myself being one of them and have the Classic Editor set as my “default” choice.

It’s simple, it works, and it keeps content seperate from page structure. Evidently, millions of other users have the same thoughts; and thankfully, WordPress contributors and developers have keep the ol’ Editor alive.

Classic Editor is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous “classic” WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen.

Squarespace – a good service

Recently, a friend was creating a website using Squarespace; so I checked them out, just to see what their service has to offer.

With a trial account, I found their flexible designer was easy to use and has lots of options. You can choose a pre-made template or build your own, then customize to fit your style and needs.

You can even use Squarespace AI to generate a personalized website template that works for you!

Kinda cool, and has an easy learning curve for first time users. If you’re looking for a good way to create and host a website, check out Squarespace.
