  Why did WordPress need to change from something that worked so perfectly. I hate the new block editor it is clunky and not intuitive and is driving me mad. Why have you spoiled something that worked so perfectly. So annoying!!!!!!

  Is there any way of switching to the classic editor?

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!

  @leanne222,

  Is there any way of switching to the classic editor?
  Have you tried the WP-Admin editor? It is now being called the “Classic Editor.” It’s older than the editor of that name at My Sites that’s now hidden, and it’s been working quite well for me for over a decade. See this post on page 3 of the topic block vs classic.
