How do I restore the classic layout when adding and editing a post?

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blogs seem to be only offering me the ‘simpler way’ and an ‘improved’ posting experience when all I want is the ‘classic’ format for adding editing posts. How can I restore this, or is the classic option now being phased out? I find it a less rewarding format, and less easy to find the tools I used to use customarily.

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

    The “classic” editor still exists — for now — but staff have been making it increasingly difficult to find. For me, the most convenient way to get to it is by saving your version of these links:

    <a href="URL for your blog/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post">adding a new post</a>

    <a href="URL for your blog/wp-admin/edit.php">list of all posts</a> to edit an old post.

    <a href="URL for your blog/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page">list of all pages</a> to edit an old page.

    I don’t get this. I can’t put this in address bar to bring up the old edit page. But this is a blog I wrote way back in 2009 and have constantly added new pictures to. Now it is impossible to do in HTML. In visual the size slide bar doesn’t not tell you what size you are adding. Right now I’m infuriated.

    list of all pages

    Where am I suppose to add this:

    list of all pages

    I need the URL for old edit. Why is WP doing this.

    Is one of my most viewed Blogs, now I cannot add pictures into it.

    Please explain how this works because I have no clue.

    Word Press give us back our old edit page in HTML.

    And where it lists “List of all pages” was the codes you used. Ugh…

    Tried putting my blog url in every which way but loose and nothing works with your to edit an old page code. Again how is this accomplished???
