  Before with the old WordPress we could use editor by going to our dashboard – appearance – editor. That is changed now because there is gutenberg. How do we get to the editor now using Gutenberg?

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

  Hi –

  What site are you working on?

  If using the open source WordPress.org installation then you have to install the classic editor plugin to use that option.

  Thanks. Please confirm which site you are working on. Is it themischiefreviewer.wordpress.com or a different one?

  Older sites can automatically revert to the classic editor but newer ones require I change something on my end. That’s why I need to confirm which site you’re working on.

  To restore the Classic Editor, follow the steps under “Will I still be able to use the old editor?” at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  We do recommend the new editor though, and we have some extensive documentation available at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/
