  Hi everyone.

  When I clicked on “Add new post” I was given the choice to use the modern feature or use the previous feature. I am not a fan of the new one because it shows up funny in my browser and can’t use tags easily. Do I still have a choice? Is there a setting I can use to return me to the old “new post”?

  Thank you

  Teri

  Yes, you still have the choice but the convenient link has been removed and will not be restored.

  You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  The Classic Editor will continue to exist in wp-admin. We know some users prefer to use this editor, so we want you to have access to it, instead of phasing it out with the new version of the Dashboard. However, a link to the Classic Editor will not return to the New Editor. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/when-editing-an-old-post-how-do-i-switch-to-the-classic-editor?replies=5
