What is ClassicPress?
ClassicPress is a community-led open source content management system and a fork of WordPress 4.9.8 that preserves the TinyMCE classic editor as the default option, removing the Gutenberg (block) editor. This initiative aims to provide a content management system tailored for business users, including plugin and theme developers, with a focus on security, performance, and reduced bloat.

- Managed by the ClassicPress Initiative, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
