Example

This is content created in the Classic block.

Notes

• The Classic Block will be used for content generated using the Classic Editor that has not been converted to Blocks.
• You can have multiple Classic Blocks in a post.
• A Classic Block is just HTML that’s not enclosed in block comments. Its block name ( core/freeform ) is implicit.
• If you want to edit content using the Classic Editor – the post editor available before WordPress 5.0 then consider installing and configuring the classic-editor plugin.
