  The new editor won’t let me add new tags and will only let me select from a handful of previous ones. Switching to the classic editor allowed me to add new tags for a post, but I have not been able to figure it out for the new editor.

  You appear to be using the Beep Beep Boop editor where there is a known limitation re: tagging.

  Your 100 most used tags and categories are loaded, then the first 20 are displayed alphabetically. Starting to type a category/tag name pulls up all the matching options. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-reinstate-the-option-of-choice-to-use-the-old-publishing-format/page/32?replies=942#post-2338964
