#WordPress 5.0 launched today. @yoast @wp_acf & @wpml advised their users NOT to upgrade due to issues with the new editor called #Gutenberg. Do you know about #ClassicPress? It's a business-focused version of #WP without the new editor. Migrate today: classicpress.net

The #ClassicPress migration plugin was rejected by #WordPress as it violated submission rules for loading remote code (that would allow ClassicPress installation). @gutenbergcloud violates the same rules but was allowed in and praised by @photomatt. Should our plugin be accepted?
