    Hi Flash, I switched to the Gutenberg on WordPress 5.0 default, but I discovered that it isn’t compatible with Yoast SEO plugin, so I returned to the old editor.

    This is a problem, though many bloggers enjoy the old editor we will still have to embrace gutenberg in the near feature but hope this problem has a way out before then…
