howto: disable gutenberg - all wp sites    18 apr 2018

plugin classic-editor
freeze WP at 4.9.x
or
use ClassicPress

.......................................................
do:
  maybe nothing - 
  Looks like everything is already in place to do that.


......................................................
Use it (classic editor?) as an MU plugin:

Put the plugin folder in wp-content/mu-plugins
Put a file in your mu-plugins folder that contains the following:

<?php
require( 'classic-editor/classic-editor.php' );

Now the plugin is always loaded, and can't be deactivated. 


......................................................
disable with code:

if (version_compare($GLOBALS['wp_version'], '5.0-beta', '>')) {
    // WP > 5 beta
    add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post_type', '__return_false', 100);
} else {
    // WP < 5 beta
    add_filter('gutenberg_can_edit_post_type', '__return_false');
}
