TinyMCE Advanced adds a “Classic Paragraph” block to the WordPress block editor. This lets you keep using the familiar TinyMCE editor while still accessing all the new features and blocks in Gutenberg. It’s a good option if you’re not ready to switch to the block editor fully or have plugins that need the classic editor.
