  I went to make changed in wp-admin. This selection was gone from the menu (side bar). I need the classic editor back, if I can. It does not have the quirks and cumbersome additional steps found in your ‘newer’ editor. The classic editor runs like a charm!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Correction: My WP-ADMIN is still in the side menu. The post editing has changed. I am trying to get back the ‘classic’ editing version. I am having a hard time. I see classic but can not activate it -or click – on it to restore it. Thx.

  Hi there!

  It looks like you are already using the Classic Editor but have a look at this page to learn more about both and how to switch between them:

  Types of WordPress Editors

  Also, bear in mind that while using the Block Editor, you can use Classic Block which gives you the same options as the Classic Editor, but with the advantages of the new one.

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
