  As your account is 13 years old you can definitely use the classic editor via wp-admin.

  can you be more specific? Do you mean I can go into wp-admin and click on something? I do not recall seeing that option, my wordpress.com blog is free and I am not sure if I have that option….

  What editor are you currently using? The new block editor or the classic editor?

  I am currently using the classic editor. I happen to have a post saved that I started around March or so. When I open it to continue writing, it automatically goes to block editor. I still have the option to use classic but fear it will eventually go away. I am apprehensive about the learning curve on the block editor, whereas the classic editor is so easy to use…

  Hi there,

  The Classic Editor is still available on the WP Admin dashboard and there are no immediate plans to depreciate it. Having said that I cannot promise you that that won’t change in the future.

  Hi there!

  If you go to https://dinerhotline.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php you should see the Classic Editor directly.
