Block editor forced on with no built-in opt-out
The block editor is switched on by default and cannot be turned off in settings, so site owners must hunt for and install a separate plugin on every new site.

What's going wrong
Site owners across many WordPress setups say the block editor arrives as the default writing tool after updates, and there is no simple switch in settings to return to the classic editor. Many reinstall a separate plugin on every new site, and some clients and agencies say it adds hours of setup. Users who never asked for the change feel pushed into an editor they find slower and harder to use. The opportunity is a dependable way to pick, lock, and manage the editor across many sites, so owners stop being forced into a tool they did not choose.
