Classic Editor no longer available?
-
No, I do not have the easier method of simply choosing Classic Editor from the dropdown menu beneath All Posts -> Add New Post. I do not see the option to choose Classic Editor until after I have created a new post and then display all posts.

@rbateman2000 , that’s strange. Assuming that you are using a theme that is compatible with the Classic Editor (if the description of or tags for your theme say “Classic Theme”, then it’s compatible; not all themes are, though), I’m wondering why you don’t have that capability.
Question: When you log in to your WP account, does the URL end with wp-admin/edit.php? Because that is how I log in, which brings me immediately into my Admin page (black left-hand sidebar with white text). And then, if I scroll down to Settings, then General, in that sidebar, my Admin Interface Style is selected as DEFAULT. (Not “Classic Style” — which seems counterintuitive but this is the way the workaround works.)
With those two settings (log-in URL plus Default “Admin Interface”), plus a theme that does support the Classic Editor, you should be able to click on Posts (again in that black left-hand sidebar) and then in the grey part of the page you should see the word Posts in the upper left corner, and right next to that there will be a white field with Add New Post in blue, and a dropdown arrow right next to those words. When you click on that dropdown arrow, you will be presented with a choice (in blue text) of Block Editor or Classic Editor to click on. Click on Classic Editor and there you are: a nice blank Classic Editor canvas.

Yes I see it now and it works. I was looking for it as a drop-down in the left-hand black area. Thanks for explaining.
