Also, the thing with using classic stuff is that you really don't want to use a theme past the Twentyseventeen theme, but definitely not past the Twentytwenty-one theme. This is because these themes become more and more dependent on the block and site editors, up to the point where they don't have much design out-of-box because they assume you're going to use block patterns and such to design your site. So if I were to use the latest default theme with classic stuff things would be incredibly bare on this site without an easy way for the site owner to change it.

No but I think you can still use the classic editor/classic widgets. Well you can install plugins if you have one of the higher tiers but I don't think you need that.

You can use the Classic Editor still, it just requires a plugin. Well technically you want two, Classic Editor and Classic Widgets. It's just that this organization doesn't have the resources/know-houw to do things with the classic editor so I'm trying to get them to a point where they can stand up on their own because not much budget and I am not looking for another volunteer thing I've gotten rid of most of those for a reason. Note: startup is for all intents and purposes a volunteer thing in my book. I cannot eat equity.

@technolass Do you want the basic block editor guide?

The WordPress with a Screen Reader resources are free but we accept donations, and there is a basic block editor shortcut guide in that series. We haven't done the site editor portion yet, we wanted to wait to see if it would stabilize a bit, which it seems to have done.

Yes. Yes they are.

No, it's just that this org does not have the resources to do classic editor properly, and the person in charge really loves their drag 'n drop, so I'm trying to save grief down the line by not creating a situation where classic editor was used first so the work has to then be converted over to the block editor.
