Finally took the big leap and moved the site off WordPress and onto Classic Press. There are several reasons for this with the primary ones being WordPress’s bloated code base and its jetpack plugin trying to basically make everyone else’s plugins obsolete. The other reason was Gutenberg – I hated block editing with a vengeance – It was slow and clunky and left my raw post full of junk. Also because it moved everything to react / Javascript it made maintaining the canalplan plugin impossible. I code for “fun” and having to learn a whole new programming language just to jump through WordPress’s lunacy just didn’t appeal.
