Gutenberg Manager

A simple and easy way to manage Gutenberg editor. You can disable/enable the editor and the elements for every post types.

Gutenberg is a great editor but sometime you could want to disable it for Pages, Posts or other post types. Gutenberg Manager allow you to enable/disable the editor where you want. Why would you want to disable the editor on pages? Maybe you would like to use a page builder like Visual Composer or Elementor instead!
