Info about ClassicPress:

  Goodbye WordPress Gutenberg! Hello ClassicPress
    https://omukiguy.com/hello-no-wordpress-gutenberg-hello-classicpress/
      [12 jul 2019]
    Very good discussion of the history and effects of WP move to Gutenberg in core,
    and the history, goals, and methods of ClassicPress.
      "[Gutenberg] It’s the end of the backend as we know it."
    Comment by NWwoman on 8 oct 2019 reflects exactly how i feel about CP and WP.

  Do WordPress Plugins work effectively in ClassicPress? 
    https://omukiguy.com/do-wordpress-plugins-work-effectively-in-classicpress/
      [3 aug 2019]
    With a summary of the history and effects of WP move to Gutenberg in core.
    "WordPress has resolved to support the classic Editor plugin
     until Dec 2021 and this is the only promise all plugins rely on
     for backward compatibility. Unless you stick to WordPress 4.9.9,
     your plugins that are not Gutenberg compatible might break if
     they interact with the new block Editor."

  All 19 of my websites on WordPress have been or will soon be
    migrated to ClassicPress


.........................
Notes:

  Gutenberg is not built in, but it and other page builders are 
    available as plugins.

  Any WordPress plugins that work with WordPress 4.9.x will work
    fine with ClassicPress 1.x.

  ClassicPress may diverge with version 2, but the developers
    are doing everything possible so that it will remain
    backwards-compatible for as long as possible

  How many sites are built with ClassicPress?
      https://trends.builtwith.com/cms/ClassicPress
    We suspect there are more, as it is tricky to 
    get a real count of usage of any technology.
