  How can I place posts using old way? I don’t like this new solution, it is extremely unpleasant and frankly speaking I don’t really find this idea worth spending extra time each time I post anything. From time to time I manage to find path to “old” publisher, but it always takes too much time.

  Old publisher had very easy way of “copying” old posts – this is quite useful. I don’t like creating new posts from zero.

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

  Unfortunately, you cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  The Classic Editor will continue to exist in wp-admin. We know some users prefer to use this editor, so we want you to have access to it, instead of phasing it out with the new version of the Dashboard. However, a link to the Classic Editor will not return to the New Editor. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/when-editing-an-old-post-how-do-i-switch-to-the-classic-editor?replies=5

  thanks, I will use this solution. But I hope there is limit of “improving” something that works just fine… Why wordpress is so eager to create its own windows 8?

  This is an ongoing project in its second year of development and its not likely to be complete any time soon as far as I can tell. https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/dashboard-update/
