  Hi There,
  I recently updated to WordPress 5. I chose the new Blocks editor. I now have no idea how to access the data I want to modify like I did in previous versions (upcoming events link on my Homepage and Events link)?

  I’m surprised and disappointed that it’s not intuitively obvious to find the sub sections to edit on my homepage like it was before. Perhaps I’m missing something?

  How can I revert to the old way of viewing with my Salient theme?

  Thanks,
  Antonio

  Hi there,

  Please note that this forum is only for sites hosted on WordPress.com. If you’re using the self-hosted version of WordPress, please post your question on the WordPress.org support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/forums

  You can disable the new editor on your self-hosted site by installing the classic editor plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/

  Hope this helps!
