How do I get to the Classic Editor
-
One could click All posts, and then select Classic Editor – how do I get to that window where it’s all just html-code and where you could just drag a new image into it?

Hi there, There is a change in navigation being rolled out on WordPress.com. You can read about this here: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/unified-navigation/ and you can leave feedback for Staff in that same thread.
If your account has been switched to the unified navigation and you formerly accessed the Classic Editor through WP Admin, you’ll need to turn on the Show advanced dashboard pages in your Account Settings> Interface Settings> Dashboard Appearance https://wordpress.com/me/account Make sure to click the “Save Interface Settings” button towards the bottom, below the thumbnails of the dashboard color schemes.
While the Classic Editor is currently available, in the long run you’ll want to give the full Block Editor or the Classic Block a workout as Staff have advised that the WordPress core development team do plan to phase this editor out in the future. The more you use it, the easier it will become. WordPress.com also published a guide specifically for writers and bloggers that you can find here https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor-for-writers-bloggers/
Hope that helps, but post back here if you have any other questions on this.

I’m not sure that I follow here. Could you give more details like what screen you were on or what you were trying to accomplish.
If by chance you mean the Media Uploader in the WP Admin, it will become available again once you enable “Advanced Dashboard Pages” in your account settings.

Hello,
Thanks for trying to help. I did as suggested and the screen I was looking for showed up but I don’t know how it happened, and I cannot find the way to go there again.
I wish I could add screenshots for you to see – I’d be much easier to explain. Is there a way for me to post screenshots here?

Hello again, yes of course. If you are using something like snipboard.io you can simply paste the link here. Otherwise, you can upload it to your own site’s Media Library and then share a link (as long as the site is Publicly visible).

It seems I now, since I by accident, found the Classic Editor, can just hit the browsers back button after having added a new post, and then be able to once again add a new post. Problem solved. Thanks for helping!
