How do you copy a post in the NEW editor mode?
-
Can’t find the “copy post” button in the new editor format.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can’t find the “copy post” button in the new editor format.
That feature doesn’t exist in the new Beep Beep Boop editor.
The main thread about the classic vs new editor is here:

You do not need to scroll through 26 pages of opinions to locate an answer to your question.The Copy a Post feature is found only when using the classic editor. To use the classic editor go to > Dashboard > Posts > Add New
http://formingthethread.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpWhen you are using the “Classic” Editor the Writing Helper module must be enabled below the posting area. If you don’t see it, use the Screen Options drop down tab in the upper right corner to check the box to enable it.
You can also use the classic editor to edit your posts. See the explanation that jeremeylduvall (Staff) provides for how to do that https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/using-old-editor?replies=8#post-2333912

@thecoloroflila: there is a poll/petition about the “new” Beep Beep Boop vs the classic editor here:

Posting a link to a third party site with a bogus biased poll does not in any way answer the question in this thread. It’s spamming plain and simple.

Galois and Timethief, thanks – my pull-down menus that I usually use suddenly decided they will only go to the new (accursed, detested, annoying) editor page. Thanks to you, I can get to the classic editor again, HUGE relief.
I hope WordPress is listening here… change for the sake of change is BAD. If it ain’t broke, PLEASE don’t fix it. I’m sticking with the classic editor as long as it’s available; if I am forced to choose between using the new editor and not using WordPress at all, I’m outta here.

I agree 100%

You’re welcome. I use the classic editor exclusively. Consequently, none of the limitations of the new editor have any impact at all on my blogging.
Best wishes.
