Hello,

quick and simple Question. Is the Newspaper Theme and the TD-Composer ready for the WordPress 5.0 Release with Gutenberg?

I want to use the new editor and i hope the theme is already prepared for it?

Best regards!

In my opinion, it is better to wait with the update, as the new editor (Gutenberg) still contains a lot of errors.

According to the most current WordPress documentation, there were 280 outstanding bugs to be fixed.

The total number of issues needing to be fixed numbered 1,370.

Here is the answer of Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress)

What if I want to upgrade but I’m not ready for Gutenberg?

No problem, install the Classic Editor plugin and 5.0 will be indistinguishable from 4.9.8 for your posting and editing experience, and you’ll still get the other improvements and fixes that have gone into 5.0. Classic Editor is supported until 2022, and now allows you to switch between Classic and Gutenberg on a per-user or per-post level.

We have chosen to keep using the classic editor over here, and wait for 5.1 to even play with it any further.
