  I’ve had blogs here for probably seven years. I just did a post a couple days ago and everything was fine. Now I can’t find the WP Admin or any of the things I used to create my content. Can undo whatever updates you just did to this website?

  We’re combining the Calypso and WP-Admin sidebars into one that’s consistent across both dashboards. This should help reduce confusion when navigating between Calypso and WP-Admin features.

  Where there’s a duplicate feature on WordPress.com, we’re letting you choose whether to default to Calypso or WP-Admin, so please take a moment to go to https://wordpress.com/me/account and set your link preference there. Here’s a screenshot: https://wordpress.com/support/account-settings/#dashboard-appearance

  If something feels off, please add details to this thread, letting us know what you clicked on, what you expected, and what happened instead. If you can share a bit about your typical use, too, that would be helpful.

  @walktx,

  Hi. The classic editor is still available to everyone. I’ve called for staff so that they may provide you with instructions for accessing the classic editor.

  Hi @walktx, you seem to be struggling with the menu changes we recently introduced. You can read about that and how to choose your menu options here:

  Let us know whether that resolves the issue for you. Thanks!

  I made the change and now see the screen I’m used to. Thanks so much. Issue solved.
