  I own the site Librariesof ourlives. wordpress.com.
  When I click edit from any post, i see a message “beep beep boop” and the page that comes up is different from the usual edit window that I had till yesterday. The let pane of that I usually see is missing and I cannot navigate to Links, or Media or Dashboard.

  Please help me fix this issue. The blog is mult-author and it would be difficult for other authors/contributors to use it in this condition.

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

  That’s not an error. It’s intentional. The new dashboard has been under development for over a year now. Post to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/beep-beep-boop-screen-is-a-joke-is-this-a-glitch?replies=55

  I found a workaround!

  When you go to the drop-down menu on the left of the grey Admin bar, and you get to NEW, instead of opening up the drop down menu options Page, Post, etc, just click the word New. Gets you straight to the fully featured dashboard editor.

  Thank you timethief. Has WordPress explained if this is a glitch or a new feature?

  re: editing
  To Edit, go to Dashboard->Posts->All Posts and hover over the title of the particular post, then Edit. That gives you the full-featured editor.

  This isn’t a glitch. As I said above it’s intentional. The new dashboard has been under development for over a year now. Post to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/beep-beep-boop-screen-is-a-joke-is-this-a-glitch?replies=55 if you want to complain about it.
