    Hello, I logged into wordpress today, December 11, 2018, and there was a message that basically said something like ‘welcome to the world of blocks. The appearance of the back end of our site has completely changed, and I can’t even update weekly schedules, etc. What is this world of blocks? I want to go back to the former way I worked within the site, not this method. I did NOT create my site, I simply update it weekly, and this new way, I can’t make even small changes. What happened?

    Hi there!

    I understand it can be overwhelming to experience the new editor.

    What you’re seeing is the new Gutenberg editor. It allows website creators to build a website using blocks, which are small drag-and-drop units.

    What is the address of the site on which you’re working?

    If you’re using the self-hosted version of WordPress on another hosting provider, you can install the Classic Editor plugin to revert back to the old editor.

    Classic Editor

    Here’s some more info on that-
