  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!

  @notayesmanseconomics,

  Hi. The classic editor is still available to everyone. I’ve called for staff so that they may provide you with instructions for accessing the classic editor.

  Hi @notayesmanseconomics,

  We have not recently changed any status with the Classic Editor. It will still be phased out eventually (here’s why). You’ll want to get into blocks and let us know about any specific issues you’re having so we can work to resolve them.

  But for the time being, it’s still there:

  So I wonder if you’re actually struggling with the menu changes we recently introduced. You can read about that and how to choose your menu options here:

  Let us know whether that resolves the issue for you. Thanks!
