I PREFER the "classic editor"

  • Unknown's avatar

    So why am i being forced to use whatever the heck it is on now, for writing posts? It’s clunky, not intuitive, needlessly complicated and not user friendly at all. *I* want to be able to control where and what i put in a post, not someone else’s idea of what, where and how to place things. And what happened to thumbnails for photos and being able to set that?
    I’d like to use Classic Editor still-how do i go about that, or am i being given no choice?

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

    I prefer the classic editor too!
    I would set up it as default, but couldn’t find the possibility, could you?

    No. It showed up as a little blip in the side bar, but i can’t figure out how to apply it. In the online “help” i found it was listed as a PLUGIN, but all i see on mine is Jetpack, which i ain’t paying for!

    Just like FB, i guess the code writers and programmers have to be able to keep their jobs, regardless of the client base being able to easily USE the platoform.

  • Hi there,

    If you prefer your navigation to always default to the classic WordPress look, you can navigate to https://wordpress.com/me/account and activate the option called “Dashboard appearance” as illustrated in this screenshot:

    We also cover this in more detail on this support guide page if you’re interested:

    Thank you, “fstat”. I would never have guessed that clicking on “advanced” would make it simpler :)

    Much appreciated.
