Classic Editor

I had to install the Classic Editor plugin as otherwise we keep losing paragraphs left and right. (Or I'm missing something obvious?)

Not sure if this creates problems for migration, or has that happened already?

There's a drop-down to switch to raw HTML mode; did you try that?

We'll lose all plugins on the next deploy unless we edit the config.

I have clicked around a ton and also tried a different browser and have not found that option thus far. (I disabled the Classic Editor to once again try finding it, no luck.)

Click the three-vertical-dots menu to get this:
then click "Code editor".

You can also set a personal preference to always default to that on your user profile:

So somehow I had that checked already (which also makes the Editor part of the dropdown disappear which explains why I did not see it) so I guess I was already using the code editor. However, the code editor does not show p tags for me and so when I make an edit and save, all those tags end up disappearing.

@andreubotella somehow dealt with it though when creating their post so I might still be missing something.

OK, I ran into this now. There do not appear to be any great solutions with vanilla WordPress: WordPress/gutenberg#11211 . People suggest installing TinyMCE Advanced and that gives you an option to disable <p>-stripping.

@andreubotella appears to have gotten around it by using <!-- wp:paragraph -->, which I will do for now. But I should figure out how to install plugins in the Dockerfile so that we don't run into this again.
