How to revert to old editing format

    I find the new block way impossible to continue to use for my purposes. It’s not worth the trouble and time, it’s not at all user-friendly or ergonomic compared to the original means of posting. I will stop using WordPress unless I can be guided on how to get back to a non-block format.

    Hi there,

    The classic editor on My Sites no longer exists – it has been completely removed from WordPress.com, as it was no longer feasible for us to continue supporting it in parallel with the block editor that has been the default in the open source WordPress software since version 5.0 came out in December 2018 – so it’s not possible to switch back to it.

    You can find an overview of how the block editor works here:

    For a similar experience to the classic editor, you can use the classic block:
