Please note that this plugin does not add its custom code to WordPress (just to not create unexpected incompatibilities with Gutenberg or Classic Editor), but is limited only to the management and configuration of its functions, to offer the maximum of its experience of use, without introducing possible additional problems. Enjoy!

How Work?

By default try Gutenberg is displayed only for users with administrator capability in WordPress 4.9.8 but when the Gutenberg plugin is installed and activated, is displayed for all user capability type.

An option configuration page is added to the settings -> writing menu so that you can set the callout display according to your needs. Stick to the screenshots for more details.

Tips

A neat trick, is to put this single file dismiss-gutenberg-nag.php (not its parent directory) in the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create it if not exists) so you won’t even have to enable it, and will be loaded by default, also, since first step installation of WordPress setup!

Explanation

This, is different from the other similar plugins, because uses the filter hook, and not the action hook. Filters should filter information, thus receiving information/data, applying the filter and returning information/data, and then used. However, filters are still action hooks. WordPress defines add_filter/remove_filter as “hooks a function to a specific filter action”, and add_action/remove_action as “hooks a function on to a specific action”.

What is Gutenberg?

Gutenberg is new block editor editing experience for WordPress 5.0+

About it

The code of this plugin, is not written with a php framework, but with a simple php editor, manually, compatible UTF-8 without BOM, and Unix LF. To avoid code corruption, do not edit it with WordPress embedded editor, or with any specifications incompatible editor.
