  So we’ve got the new editor and I hate it. I want t switch back to the Classic Editor but when I select it, the screen goes blank and then I get the block editor back.

  Is there something else I need to do.?

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

  Hi,

  It is possible to switch back to the Classic Editor (TinyMCE).
  When you edit/create a page/post
  -Click on the three vertical dots in the right top corner.
  – Click on the ‘Switch to Classic Editor’

  That should make the Classic Editor default.

  – bests,

  @arkitekt878 Your account is a number of years old so you should also be able to access the wp-amin dashboard and open posts in the classic editor that way.

  I’ve got it working now, but I read a post on another blog stating that the Classic Editor may not be around too long. Does anyone know a time-scale for this?

  Nice to know it’s working now

  No, I don’t know a time scale for this

  Thanks :)
