Below is pasted a message that wordpress shows on my dashboard. Will specular work fine with Gutenberg, or must I use the Classic Editor plugin?
A new, modern publishing experience is coming soon.
Take your words, media, and layout in new directions with Gutenberg, the WordPress editor we’re currently building.Screenshot from the Gutenberg interface
Test the new editor today.
You can take Gutenberg for a spin (and share your feedback, if you’d like) before we officially release it, by installing it as a plugin. You can help by testing, filing bugs, or contributing on the GitHub repository.Install Gutenberg

Not quite ready?
The new editor will be enabled by default in the next major release of WordPress. If you’re not sure how compatible your current themes and plugins are, we’ve got you covered. Install the Classic Editor plugin to keep using the current editor until you’re ready to make the switch.Install the Classic Editor

Hello,
The Gutenberg editor is a form of content builder created from WordPress team. If you were to use one of the wordpress default theme’s, this editor would be great to add content using the drag-and-drop and live customization.
But Specular theme comes with WP Bakery Visual Composer included. There is no need to use Gutenberg in this theme. It will only mess up the shortcodes because the WP Bakery visual composer has it’s own shortcodes and it’s not possible to have two versions in one page.
So bottom-line, i strongly suggest you keep creating content using the included visual composer.
Best regards!

Hi again,
I definitely don’t want to go through the learning curve of using some other content builder. I’m pleased to stick with WP Bakery Visual Composer. My wordpress site is hosted with a company that updates WordPress for me automatically. I’m trying to figure out whether, one day, I’m going to discover that Specular doesn’t work or that WP Bakery doesn’t work because wordpress took over and is forcing me to use Gutenberg.
My specific question is this: Is there something I have to do to continue using Specular and WP Bakery Visual Composer when my worpress gets updated automatically?
Thanks
Bai

Hello,
No, Gutenberg too needs to be activated first. Just like any other plugin. If you don’t activate it, it won’t do any change in the site.
Usually the wordpress updates do not make many any drastic changes, but even if something would not be ok after a wp update, we will update theme urgently so there is no compatibility issue with it.
To answer your question, no: you don’t have to do anything!Best regards!
