  Hi,

  What is the drop-dead simplest way to go back to the classic editor?

  I’ve read answers, FAQs, etc., etc to no avail. Clicking the three dots doesn’t help, WP admin draft doesn’t help.

  What is the get it back for Dummies method?

  Thank you,
  Peter

  Hi,

  Try this to be able to use the classic editor.
  https://wordpress.com/support/editors/#classic-editor

  If you did not know the classic editor is being retired.

  Thank you. But when I click on WP Admin, I get a “What’s on your mind?” quick draft template that creates a draft in Block Editor. Tried it several times before posting my question.Doesn’t access Classic Editor.

  Best wishes,
  Peter
