  Why does the new editor take all the paragraph breaks out of pieces that were uploaded using the old editor??? Please let me have access again to the old editor. This is the only way I could troubleshoot this before.

  If you do a forum search for “Classic editor” you should find the 2 dozen or so threads with the instructions.

  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.

  Access the classic editor at > Dashboard > Posts > Add New
  Note that you can bookmark the link for convenience sake.

  Staff removed the link in the new editor to the classic editor but there are two workarounds that can be used found here:
