  My Classic Editor is gone today. And I am not able to get it back, is there an option to get it back?

  It sounds like your account has been switched to the unified navigation which is being rolled out on WordPress.com. You can read about this here: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/unified-navigation/

  If your account has been switched and you used to access the Classic Editor through WP Admin, you’ll need to turn on the Advanced Navigation in your Account Settings -> Dashboard Appearance to access the Classic Editor: https://wordpress.com/support/account-settings/#dashboard-appearance

  The Classic Editor is currently available, but in the long run, you’ll want to give the full Block Editor or the Classic Block a workout. The more you use it, the easier it will become. We have a great guide here specifically for writers and bloggers that you can find here:

  @susannedrechsler,

  Hi. The Classic Editor is still available to all WordPress.com users. Here’s the Classic Editor support page, and the recently revised How to Access the Classic Editor section of that support page.
