In late January 2019, WordPress changed to a new Gutenberg WordPress editor. We have taken steps to install the plugin to disable the Gutenberg editor, but unfortunately as core platform updates have progressed it has slowed the response time even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">The Gutenberg WordPress editor is a new webpage builder that is being designed to integrate with the WordPress core. With Gutenberg, content is added in blocks of various types from the WordPress backend instead of PHP or HTML coding.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">If you install the Chrome browser on your desktop, you will need to modify your Pop-up Blocker. To do this, click on the three dots at the top right corner of Google Chrome and then navigate to \u201cSettings\u201d, go to the \u201cPrivacy &amp; Security\u201d setting under the \u201cAdvanced\u201d tab at the bottom of the screen, select \u201cContent Settings\u201d, and then go to \u201cPop-ups and redirects\u201d. Go to \u201cAllow\u201d and then \u201cAdd\u201d the URLs for the RAC website \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rac.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.rac.ca<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/wp.rac.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wp.rac.ca<\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: large\">Thank you for your patience as we work through this issue.
