  Until Tue or Wed last week I had always used Classic Editor for my posts and pages on WordPress. Now there’s seems to have been an upgrade and i cannot access anything to update let alone create a new post. How can i get back to the previous version or can i not, meaning I will have to try a different type of site presumably ?

  Hi there,

  We are retiring the classic editor from the WordPress.com dashboard, but you can still use the features of the classic editor through the classic editor block:

  https://wordpress.com/support/editors/#classic-editor

  Here is our recent article explaining the move:

  The Classic Editing Experience is Moving, Not Leaving

  You can still visit the wp-admin dashboard (http://example.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and use the classic editor there:

  We also have information on transitioning to the Block Editor, and Frequently Asked Questions.

  Hope this helps.
