Can I Keep the Classic Editor?
-
Are You Going to Remove the Classic Editor?
I am beginning a new weblog about music. Yet, I won’t be able to continue with it if I have to use Blocks. THE very first thing I tried to do with Blocks was to justify the alignment of text. WordPress’s own tutorial does not show a justify option – https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/
Additionally, I’m confronted with a page displaying blocks, while all I want to do is to start typing and make a decently good looking web page, which I can easily do without the blocks feature.
If you’re going to remove the classic editor altogether, I might as well not put anymore effort into the site, because it’s going to be frustrating instead of fun. I’ve almost always enjoyed making content with WordPress.
I know how to use the editor I began with, it makes a good looking page, and now that I’ve discovered where everything is, it’s fun to use. -
I just now noticed that the justify feature isn’t shown in both the classic editor or the block format in the video I mentioned. Anyway, I know how to get to the one I need (a nice upgrade to the classic editor would be to have it with the justify feature by default). I placed an image of it on the below link on the site I hope to make.

Hi @learnerwp,
The classic editor is not going to be removed. You can switch back to the classic editor if you are not comfortable with the new block editor or do not like it altogether.
Here is how to do that:
1. Click the button (with 3 dots ) on the top right of the post you are editing.
2. Scroll down to the very bottom and you will find an option which says “Switch to Classic Editor”. Click that and you are done.Regarding the justify feature you asked. It’s already present. Check the GIF below to learn how to access it:
