Edit Post Window Suddenly Looks Different and Toolbar Doesn't Follow Me

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, I’ve been working on posts most every day for a while, but this morning I find my ‘Edit Post’ Window and ‘Write Post’ windows have changed and become harder to use. I’m wondering if this is a terrible design choice by WP or if I unwittingly did something I can reverse.

    Here’s a picture of the new format:

    The menu from the left with all of the post settings is now a dropdown at the top right, which isn’t a big deal, but much more importantly, my post toolbar doesn’t follow me as I scroll down anymore. Thus, if I want to drop in a picture, italicize something, or add a link, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top of my post, which is really annoying and impractical.

    I hope there’s some way to fix this, because I really hate this new format. Thanks!

    I’m having the same problem

    I’m using FF with Windows 10. Worked fine yesterday – now the menu has moved to the right side and the toolbar is stuck at the top. It has made the UI unusable.

    Update: Works fine in IE.

  • Hi, thanks for letting us know. The toolbar is supposed to “stick” as you scroll down, and for me it is working properly in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

    I’ve made a thread to consolidate all of our feedback, so if you’re still having trouble can you head over here? Please include comments / requests as well. Thank you!
