How to disable Gutenberg and go back to the old WordPress editor
From version 5.0 a text editor called Gutenberg comes to WordPress. In fact, Gutenberg has better looks and functionality than the old editor, it’s just that most people are still used to using the old editor so they decide to turn it off.
Old editor called as Classic editor and its properties are not inferior to Gutenberg either. So if you want to keep using the old editor, the method is very simple.
Deactivate Gutenberg and return to the old WordPress editor
It only takes a few steps to eliminate Gutenberg and Let the classic editor be the way it was. Please immediately follow the steps below:
Sign in to the admin dashboard.
Install a new plugin called Classic editor.
Then activate the plugin.
Then go to the menu settings > To write.
On options Standard editor for all users select as Classic editor.
Now try to create a new post, because Gutenberg has certainly disappeared and switched to an old / classic editor. And the plugin also offers you the option of using both editors at the same time.

Why do so many people make Gutenberg disabled?
Many users feel that Gutenberg isn’t ready to be used as the main editor in WordPress just yet, and currently the rating of the Gutenberg plugin itself is only roughly around 2.3 only where there are more negative than positive reviews.
I deactivated Gutenberg myself, just because I’m used to the old editor and don’t want to switch to anything else. But it looks like Gutenberg will be even better and have more functions than the classic editor in the future. To do this, remember to deactivate it again.
Hopefully useful and good luck
