WordPress 5 is coming, maybe in as little as a few months. My understanding is that the Gutenberg editor included with WordPress 5 will not have column creation capability, but that it will probably be included at some later point. In testing the Gutenberg plugin, I can not see any way to use the genesis column classes with it. Am I missing something here?
Based on what I see now, it appears that once WordPress 5 is released, it will be necessary to use the classic editor on a page or post to be able to use the Genesis column classes, and that upgrading any Genesis site that already uses column classes will require that the editor for those pages or posts not be able to be upgraded. Does this agree with what others understand?
Is anyone aware if the folks from Studio Press have made any statements or announcements on this issue?

To switch between the visual and text editor, click the 3 vertical dots on the top right.

Have you requested your free website audit yet?April 25, 2018 at 10:03 am #219275Michael PurcellMemberThanks for the answer, Victor.
Have you tested the genesis column classes in the gutenberg editor, or is it an assumption that it will work?
If I have an existing page designed in the classic editor with column classes and open it in the gutenberg editor, it shows in a single "classic" block with the html intact. If I then convert to blocks from the menu, each element of the page is assigned it's own block, paragraph, heading, image, etc. and the column class tags are all stripped away. This results in everything displaying in a single column.
I assume that the original html could be placed in an html block, but I can't test this on my xampp server because of an unfixed bug in the gutenberg editor which prevents the html block for working when wordpress is installed in a subdirectory. So if you actually tested this, would I be correct to assume that you used an html block to get the column classes to work in the gutenberg editor?
Thanks in advance.

Gutenberg still uses TinyMCE under the hood. It's basically a new interface that sits atop of TinyMCE.

Thanks for your feedback, and I'll keep working with it.
