  Hi there,
  I am supporting my elderly father with his wordpress blog and he is having so much trouble with the gutenberg blocks. Can his blog be returned permanently to the classic editor and how do I go about this? Is there a way to remove the upgraded wordpress for him? Thanks so much.

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!
