  The new block editor is slow and a pain. How to switch to the simpler one?

  Hi there,

  The Hever theme you’re currently using for your site was designed specifically for the block editor, so the classic editor cannot currently be enabled on your site.

  If you want to switch to the classic editor, you’ll first need to switch to one of our older themes at My Site ->Design ->Themes.

  Once you’ve activated an older theme, you’ll be able to switch to the classic editor from within the editor. See “Will I still be able to use the old editor” in the FAQ at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  How do I find the Media Library from the new Block Editor? Frankly, it seems awful so far, hiding much used features of layout, Media, etc.

  I have reverted to the classic, but a block editor is a nice idea…but this one is NOT intuitive, EVEN for WP users! sheesh!

  thanks,
  CRF

  When writing a post in the Block editor I use the + in a blue square top left and click on “image”.
