use_block_editor_for_post │ filter-hook │ WP 5.0.0

Allows you to enable or disable Gutenberg (the WordPress block editor) for an individual post.

There is a similar use_block_editor_for_post_type hook that enables or disables the block editor for a post type as a whole. This hook runs later and affects an individual post.

You can also use the Classic Editor plugin to disable Gutenberg. Read more in a separate note.
