  I tried to open the old editor but was instantly re-assigned to the ‘BBB’ rubbish one. Now I notice that when I open my website in normal i.e. not editor mode there is an ‘edit’ tab at the bottom of each article.

  Does this mean that anyone can now edit my website?!

  Maybe its because my PC is in Germany but the language is english? When I click on ‘dashboard’ in explorer I get an error message in German saying the page is not found.

  This new editor is absolutely horrible and ruining my ability to post.

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

  Hi there. The edit button on your blog itself has always been there, you might just not have noticed it. Only you can see that button and only when logged in to your own account. Visitors cannot see that. However, pressing that button will now take you to the new editor rather than the classic editor. This change happened last week.

  The classic editor is still available. To compose new posts with the classic editor, go to your dashboard and click on Posts ->Add New and to edit existing posts, click on Posts ->All Posts and click Edit under the post title.

  You can see this thread for staff updates on fixes to the new editor: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-post-editor-improvements?replies=5 and if you want to add your own feedback on the new editor you can do so here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/beep-beep-boop-screen-is-a-joke-is-this-a-glitch/page/20

  If you’re having trouble reaching your dashboard, type your wordpress.com URL into the address bar and add /wp-admin/ at the end for a direct link to your dashboard. If it doesn’t want to load at all, check that your browser is updated to the latest version, that you have third party cookies activated and that your flash player is updated.
