What’s new in version 2.0?

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite that eliminates ALL block-related functionality:
– Removes FSE Global Styles and theme.json support
– Disables block-based widgets completely
– Removes block patterns and block directory
– Eliminates WooCommerce blocks if WooCommerce is installed
– Removes all block-related CSS and JavaScript assets

Does this work with WooCommerce?

Yes! The plugin automatically detects WooCommerce and disables all WooCommerce blocks, forcing the classic checkout, cart, and product editor experience.

Will this break my existing content?

No. Your existing posts and pages will continue to work normally. The plugin only affects the editing experience and removes block-related overhead.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

All Gutenberg functionality will be restored immediately. Your site will return to using the block editor and all block-related features.

Is this compatible with all themes and plugins?

Yes. This plugin is designed for maximum compatibility. It works with all properly coded themes and plugins by simply removing block functionality rather than conflicting with it.

Why choose this over other similar plugins?

This plugin is the most comprehensive solution available. While other plugins only disable the editor, this one removes ALL block-related functionality including FSE styles, widgets, patterns, WooCommerce blocks, and performance-heavy assets.
