How to save a draft in the new format?
I do not like the new format — it is harder to read and not as easy to use as the previous system. Is is possible to go back to the classic version and not deal with the new stuff?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I have no issue with switching to using the classic editor. I go to > Dashboard > Posts > Add New and use it there.
See here http://recoverydiva.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
Hover over the title of the post and click the edit link. For editing see:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ When you are done click the Update link in the Publish module. -
Staff have been creating a new editor to replace the classic editor for over a year now and the issue you report dates back that far. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/new-post-editor-improvements?replies=5 and I’ll tag this thread for Staff to take note of your feedback.
To locate drafts Dashboard > Posts > All Post > Drafts
http://recoverydiva.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=postProvided you did not create the post in the new Beep Beep Boop editor where it’s saved only on your browser, and is not auto-saved to the servers for your blog you may be able to recover a lost post or page.
If the post was created on the dashboard of your own blog at Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New then you ought to be able to recover a lost post or page from revisions if needs be.

I recommend:
1. Always create your posts on the dashboard of your own blog at
2. Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
3. Immediately after creating a post and entering a title click the save draft link. Thereafter, “click save draft” frequently.
4. Always allow pages to fully load before clicking any other links.
5. Never leave a post or page open for content creation or editing and walk away from it, or open another tab in the same blog and work on something else while it is still open. Save it properly and return to edit it later.
6. Use an offline blog editor so you have backups on your own computer http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/If you cannot locate a revision or restore from Trash then the content has been lost and cannot be recovered.

@timethief (or any other staff member of WordPress.com who happens to read this post):
Like recoverydiva I do not like the new editor and dashboard. Is there a way to configure my WordPress.com account so that, when I log-in, the classic dashboard/editor are displayed by default. It is a nuisance — and time-wasting — to have to click several times to get to the classic mode. The ability to configure one’s WordPress account to use either mode would be helpful.

Hi there,
How to save a draft in the new format?
If you’re in the new post editor, you can save a draft by clicking the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen: https://cloudup.com/ck8vwqZg1uw
If you have any trouble with that button, please let me know!
I do not like the new format — it is harder to read and not as easy to use as the previous system. Is is possible to go back to the classic version and not deal with the new stuff?
If you prefer the classic editor in your wp-admin dashboard, you can click on the banner at the bottom of the right-hand column in the editor: https://cloudup.com/cmM-riKi1-H
