  Hi Andy, The Classic Editor is still available. You can read more about that in this blog post > https://wordpress.com/blog/2020/08/13/the-classic-editing-experience-is-moving-not-leaving/

  If you want to use it, you should be able to:
  1. Use the Classic Block in the MySite Editor, which emulates the previous Classic Editor, as described here: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  2. Or navigate to your WPcom site’s WP Admin dashboard (yoursite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/) and using the Classic Editor there

  If you don’t see those options, please post back and let us know..

  However, the Block Editor is easier to use than most people believe and has been greatly improved over the last couple of years. If your sites have already been switched to the Block Editor at MySite, you can try it out in a draft post and there’s a tutorial to get you started at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  Post back here if you have any other questions.
