    Hi there,

    Your site is not hosted on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software. We cannot help with this in the WordPress.com forums.

    Please post in the self-hosted WordPress forums instead for help:

    You can disable the new block editor added in WordPress 5.0 on your self-hosted site by installing the Classic Editor plugin:
