Upload the plugin to your blog and activate 2. Configure the plugin settings as desired 3. Enable theme switcher via settings or shortcode [More info on installing WP plugins](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/manage-plugins/#installing-plugins-1) **Settings** Out of the box, Disable Gutenberg makes your WordPress 100% Gutenberg-free. If you visit the settings page, you will see that the "Complete Disable" option is enabled, and so is the "Disable Nag" option. This is all that is required to disable Gutenberg (and the nag) sitewide. Now, if you want to customize things and, say, only disable Gutenberg on specific post types, you can uncheck that first "Complete Disable" option. When you uncheck the box, more options will be displayed. So you can choose exactly where Gutenberg should be disabled. **Whitelist** In some cases, you may want to disable Gutenberg everywhere, but enable only on certain posts. To do this, set the "Complete Disable" option to __enabled__. Then visit the "Whitelist" settings to specify which posts always should open in the Block Editor. **Important** Do not use Disable Gutenberg with other plugins (like the Classic Editor plugin) that also disable or replace Gutenberg. Why? Because it may cause loading of redundant scripts, which may in turn lead to unexpected/untested results. **Hide Menu Option** Disable Gutenberg provides a setting to disable the plugin's menu item. This is useful if you don't want your clients to get curious and start fiddling around. If you enable the option to hide the plugin's menu item, you will need to access the plugin settings page directly. It is located at: `/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=disable-gutenberg` So if WordPress is installed at this URL: `https://example.com/` ..then you would access the plugin settings at: `https://example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=disable-gutenberg` Or, if WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, for example: `https://example.com/wordpress/` ..then you would access the plugin settings at: `https://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=disable-gutenberg` So if you hide the plugin's menu item, you always can access the settings directly. **More Tools** The settings include a "More Tools" link. Clicking it toggles open some advanced options: * Classic Widgets - Restores Classic Widgets * Disable Nag - Disables "Try Gutenberg" nag * Enable Frontend - Enables frontend block stylesheet * Whitelist Options - Displays the whitelist settings * Plugin Menu Item - Hides the Disable Gutenberg menu item * Gutenberg Menu Item - Hides the Gutenberg plugin menu item (for WP less than 5.0) * Display Edit Links - Displays "Add New (Classic)" menu links and Classic/Block edit links * ACF Support - Enables the Custom Fields Meta Box (ACF plugin disables by default) * Reset Options - Restores the default plugin options If there are any questions about these items or anything else, feel free to [contact me directly](https://plugin-planet.com/support/#contact) or post in the [WP Support Forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-gutenberg/). **Uninstalling** This plugin cleans up after itself. All plugin settings will be removed from the WordPress database when the plugin is deleted via the WP Plugins screen. **Going Further** For developers wanting to customize further, check out: * [How to Disable Gutenberg: Complete Guide](https://digwp.com/2018/04/how-to-disable-gutenberg/) * [How to Selectively Enable Gutenberg Block Editor](https://digwp.com/2018/12/enable-gutenberg-block-editor/) **Show Support** I strive to make this free plugin the very best possible. To show support, please take a moment to leave a [5-star review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-gutenberg/reviews/?rate=5#new-post) at WordPress.org. Your generous feedback helps to further growth and development of Disable Gutenberg. Thank you! == Upgrade Notice == Visit the WordPress Plugins screen, locate the plugin, and click "Update" :) __Note:__ Deleting this plugin via the WordPress Plugins screen will remove all of its settings from the WordPress database. == Frequently Asked Questions == **Will this work without Gutenberg?** Yes. When Gutenberg is active, the plugin disables it (depending on your selected options) and replaces with the Classic Editor. Otherwise, if Gutenberg is not active (like with older versions of WordPress), the plugin does nothing. So it is safe to activate on any WordPress site. **What's the difference between Classic Editor plugin?** Classic Editor plugin enables you to disable Gutenberg across the board, and replace it with the Classic Editor. The Disable Gutenberg plugin does the exact same thing, in the exact same way, BUT it also provides more granular control over when and where Gutenberg is replaced with the Classic Editor. Disable Gutenberg plugin makes it easy to replace Gutenberg everywhere, OR you can choose to replace only for specific post types, user roles, post IDs, theme template, and more. Check out the list of features and compare them to the alternatives. It's not even close! ;) __Bottom line:__ both Disable Gutenberg and Classic Editor plugins are lightweight and enable you to replace Gutenberg with the Classic Editor for the entire site. The difference is that Disable Gutenberg also gives you advanced configuration options such as restoring Classic Widgets, controlling block styles, and allowing block editor on certain pages, post types, and so forth. **Can I use this plugin and Classic Editor at the same time?** Yes, if both plugins are active at the same time, Disable Gutenberg gives priority to Classic Editor plugin. So if you want to use Disable Gutenberg, deactivate the Classic Editor plugin (you do not have to remove it, just deactivate via the WP Plugins screen). **Classic Editor planned to expire in 2022, what about Disable Gutenberg?** I can't make any promises, but I intend to develop with WordPress for the long-haul. Who knows what the future holds, but the plan is to keep Disable Gutenberg going for many years to come. Why? Because the original RTE/Visual Editor is awesome. I strongly feel it's one of the many reasons why WordPress has enjoyed its great success. I've been using the original/classic editor for over 10 years now and it's always been 100% smooth experience. I've tried Gutenberg, and yes it is much better now than in previous versions, but for me it's just not as comfortable or streamlined as the classic editor. So yeah, will do everything possible to keep Disable Gutenberg (and the Classic Editor) going well beyond 2022. **Why does Classic Editor plugin have way more users?** Because it is being promoted by the Gutenberg developers and the "official" plugin for replacing Gutenberg. That's fine, but understand that Disable Gutenberg functions the same way AND provides way more features and settings. FWIW, I use Disable Gutenberg on my own sites Perishable Press, DigWP.com, Plugin Planet, and many others. 100% solid. **Template exclusions not working?** In order for template exclusions to work, the template must be registered with the page itself. The only way to do this is via the "Edit Page" screen, in the "Page Attributes" meta box. There you will find an option to set the page template. Remember to save your changes. After assigning some templates, they will be recognized by Disable Gutenberg. So to disable Gutenberg on any registered template, you can add them via the plugin setting, "Disable for Templates". Examples: * Template name is `page-custom.php`, located in the root theme directory: enter `page-custom.php` in the Template Exclusion setting * Template name is `page-custom.php`, located in a subdirectory named `templates`: enter `templates/page-custom.php` **How to disable default Gutenberg frontend styles?** The default Gutenberg/Block styles are disabled by default when DG plugin is active. To enable/disable the styles, visit the plugin setting, "Enable Frontend". **Does this work with full site editing and block themes?** No, because block themes rely on blocks. [See Block themes article](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/block-themes/) for more information. **What does the setting "Display Edit Links" do?** When "Display Edit Links" is enabled in the plugin settings: * On Post, Page, and Custom Post Type __menus__ (in the sidebar), a link is displayed that says "Add New (Classic)". Clicking the link takes the user to the "Add New" screen with the Classic Editor enabled. * On Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types __screens__ (where lists of posts are displayed), two links are added beneath each post. The first link says "Classic Edit" and takes the user to the "Edit" screen with the Classic Editor enabled. The second link says "Block Edit" and takes the user to the Edit screen with the Block Editor enabled. __Note__ that these links display only on pages where the Block Editor is enabled. So for example, if Gutenberg is disabled sitewide, none of the links will display anywhere. If disabled only on Pages, then the links will not display on the Pages menu or on the Pages screen. **Got a question?** Send any questions or feedback via my [contact form](https://plugin-planet.com/support/#contact) == Changelog == Thank you to everyone for using Disable Gutenberg and for all the [awesome 5-star reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/disable-gutenberg/reviews/)!

Genuine insights alongside https://thefunbet-casinos.uk for dedicated casino players everywhere

The world of online casinos is a vibrant and ever-evolving landscape, offering a diverse range of gaming experiences for enthusiasts of all levels. Choosing the right platform is crucial for a secure, enjoyable, and potentially rewarding experience. Many players are actively seeking reliable resources and insightful information to navigate this complex world effectively. Amongst the numerous options available, understanding what makes a casino reputable and trustworthy is paramount. A site like https://thefunbet-casinos.uk can provide a valuable starting point for researching potential online casinos, offering reviews and comparisons to help players make informed decisions.

The allure of online casinos lies in their convenience, accessibility, and the sheer variety of games on offer. From classic table games like blackjack and roulette to innovative slot machines and live dealer experiences, there's something to appeal to every taste. However, with this abundance of choice comes the responsibility of ensuring one is playing on a platform that prioritizes player safety, fair gaming, and responsible gambling practices. Thorough research, reading reviews, and understanding the terms and conditions are essential steps in mitigating risk and maximizing enjoyment.

Understanding Casino Licensing and Regulation

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing an online casino is its licensing and regulation. Reputable casinos are licensed by strict regulatory bodies, which ensure they adhere to certain standards of operation. These standards cover areas such as fairness of games, security of funds, and responsible gambling measures. Common licensing jurisdictions include the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA). A license from one of these bodies indicates that the casino has been vetted and meets specific criteria for trustworthiness. Players should always verify the validity of a casino’s license before depositing any funds – this information is usually displayed prominently on the casino’s website, often in the footer.

The Role of Independent Testing Agencies

Beyond licensing, reputable casinos often employ independent testing agencies to audit their games. These agencies, such as eCOGRA (eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) and iTech Labs, use sophisticated algorithms and statistical analysis to verify the fairness and randomness of the games. Their certifications provide an additional layer of assurance to players that the outcomes are not manipulated and that the games are genuinely based on chance. Looking for the logos of these testing agencies on a casino's website is a good sign of commitment to fair play. The presence of such certifications not only protects players but also enhances the casino's credibility within the industry.

Regulatory Body Key Responsibilities
UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) Licensing, regulating, and enforcing gambling laws in the UK. Protecting consumers and preventing gambling-related harm.
Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) Supervising all gaming activities in Malta. Ensuring fairness, transparency, and player protection.
Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (GRA) Regulating gambling operators based in Gibraltar. Upholding high standards of integrity and responsible gambling.

Understanding these regulatory frameworks is vital for players seeking safe and enjoyable online casino experiences. When reviewing a service like https://thefunbet-casinos.uk, looking for mentions of these authoritative bodies can quickly help assess its legitimacy.

Exploring the Variety of Games Available

The range of games offered by an online casino is a major draw for many players. From the traditional favorites to the latest innovations, the options are seemingly endless. Slot machines are arguably the most popular category, with hundreds of different titles available, each boasting unique themes, features, and jackpot sizes. Table games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and craps offer a more strategic and skill-based experience. Live dealer games provide a realistic casino atmosphere, with professional dealers streaming live from dedicated studios. Video poker combines elements of both slots and table games, offering a blend of chance and skill. Furthermore, many casinos now offer specialty games such as keno, bingo, and scratch cards, further expanding the variety of entertainment options.

Understanding Return to Player (RTP) Percentages

When choosing which games to play, it’s important to understand the concept of Return to Player (RTP) percentages. RTP represents the theoretical percentage of all wagered money that a game will pay back to players over time. A higher RTP percentage generally indicates a better chance of winning, although it’s important to remember that RTP is a long-term average and does not guarantee consistent wins. For example, a game with an RTP of 96% means that, on average, it will pay back $96 for every $100 wagered. Players can usually find RTP information in the game’s help files or on the casino’s website. Choosing games with higher RTP percentages can potentially improve your overall odds of success.

  • Slot Machines: Offer diverse themes and jackpot opportunities.
  • Blackjack: A classic card game requiring skill and strategy.
  • Roulette: A game of chance with various betting options.
  • Live Dealer Games: Provide a realistic casino experience.

The expansive array of options ensures that players can always discover something new and exciting. Websites dedicated to casino reviews, like the one found at https://thefunbet-casinos.uk, can offer comprehensive guides to the different game types and their respective RTPs.

Payment Methods and Security Measures

A secure and convenient payment system is essential for any online casino. Reputable casinos offer a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, e-wallets (such as PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller), bank transfers, and, increasingly, cryptocurrencies. The availability of these options allows players to choose the method that best suits their needs and preferences. Security is paramount, and casinos should employ robust encryption technology, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to protect players’ financial information. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security, requiring players to verify their identity through a secondary method, such as a code sent to their mobile phone. Looking for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar indicates that the website uses SSL encryption.

Understanding Withdrawal Policies and Processing Times

Before depositing any funds, it’s crucial to understand the casino’s withdrawal policies and processing times. Some casinos may have minimum withdrawal amounts, while others may impose limits on the amount that can be withdrawn at any given time. Processing times can vary depending on the chosen payment method and the casino’s internal procedures. E-wallets generally offer the fastest withdrawal times, often within 24-48 hours, while bank transfers can take several business days. Reading the casino’s terms and conditions carefully and checking player reviews can provide valuable insights into the withdrawal process. Be aware of potential wagering requirements attached to bonuses, which may need to be met before a withdrawal can be made.

  1. Credit/Debit Cards: Widely accepted but may have slower processing times.
  2. E-Wallets: Popular for their speed and convenience.
  3. Bank Transfers: Secure but often slower than other methods.
  4. Cryptocurrencies: Gaining traction due to anonymity and fast transactions.

Prioritizing security and understanding the intricacies of payment procedures are key aspects of responsible online gambling. A good resource like https://thefunbet-casinos.uk will often detail the banking options and security protocols of the casinos they review.

Customer Support and Responsible Gambling

Reliable customer support is an often-overlooked but crucial aspect of a positive online casino experience. Players should have access to prompt and helpful support in case of any issues or queries. The most common channels for customer support include live chat, email, and phone. Live chat is often the preferred option, as it provides instant access to support agents. A good casino will offer 24/7 customer support to cater to players in different time zones. Furthermore, reputable casinos prioritize responsible gambling and provide resources to help players stay in control of their gaming habits. These resources may include self-exclusion programs, deposit limits, time limits, and links to gambling addiction support organizations.

A commitment to player well-being is a hallmark of a trustworthy online casino. Ensuring a positive and safe gaming environment is paramount. It’s essential that casinos are proactive in identifying and assisting players who may be at risk of developing gambling problems.

The Future of Online Casinos and Emerging Trends

The online casino industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies and trends emerging all the time. One of the most significant trends is the increasing popularity of mobile gaming. More and more players are accessing online casinos through their smartphones and tablets, leading to the development of mobile-optimized websites and dedicated casino apps. Another trend is the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies, which promise to create even more immersive and engaging gaming experiences. The use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies is also gaining traction, offering enhanced security and transparency. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to personalize the gaming experience, providing players with tailored recommendations and bonuses. These advancements suggest a future where online casinos are even more sophisticated, convenient, and entertaining, refining the options available to returning players.

The continual innovation within the industry promises exciting developments for players. Staying informed about these trends will enable players to make the most of the changing landscape and enjoy a cutting-edge gaming experience. Sites like https://thefunbet-casinos.uk can act as a useful compass in this rapidly evolving world.
