Comments, Pages, new interface

    Your new interface has made managing my site more difficult.

    My site is interactive with readers commenting daily. I periodically review comments to identify language et al. The old interface allowed me to sort by commenter so that I could look for trends and determine if I needed to ban a commenter. I can’t do this anymore.

    I rely on multiple pages to break down the many offerings on my site. I have 200 active pages. I used to be able to page through at 20 pages per view. Now, I have to scroll through.

    I guess it comes as no surprise that I use the Classic Editor. But, if I move around through other screens, I find that your new screens are not user-friendly. Please consider allowing, long-time users like me the option to use the old screen interfaces.

    Thank you

    Hi there,

    You can still use the classic tools if you wish. As a first step, you will want to set your account to “Show advanced dashboard pages” here: https://wordpress.com/me/account

    Just click the option shown in my screenshot here: https://d.pr/i/QqCdQz

    Once you have turned on that option, you can visit your list of posts and instead of seeing the WordPress.com admin view, you will see the more advanced “wp-admin” view. On that page you can access the classic editor via the options shown in this screenshot: https://d.pr/i/pbLBUS

    For other management functions on your site we will show the wp-admin equivalent (including comment management) whenever possible so changing this setting will address both of your concerns.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
