Yes, you can disable it.
You can do this with code
If you want to disable it globally, you can use this code:
if ( version_compare($GLOBALS['wp_version'], '5.0-beta', '>') ) {
// WP > 5 beta
add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', '__return_false', 100 );
} else {
// WP < 5 beta
add_filter( 'gutenberg_can_edit_post_type', '__return_false' );
}
And if you want to disable it only for given post type, you can use:
function my_disable_gutenberg_for_post_type( $is_enabled, $post_type ) {
if ( 'page' == $post_type ) { // disable for pages, change 'page' to you CPT slug
return false;
}
return $is_enabled;
}
if ( version_compare($GLOBALS['wp_version'], '5.0-beta', '>') ) {
// WP > 5 beta
add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', 'my_disable_gutenberg_for_post_type', 10, 2 );
} else {
// WP < 5 beta
add_filter( 'gutenberg_can_edit_post_type', 'my_disable_gutenberg_for_post_type', 10, 2 );
}
PS. If you don’t want to support older versions, you can ignore filters beginning with ‘gutenberg_’, so no version checking is needed in such case.
