  It is known that WordPress seems to hide the WP Admin button in the new account. But for the old accounts, we can still see the button. It is very inconvenient to get access to the Dashboard. Will WordPress has a plan to disable the WP Admin or whether where can we restore the button.

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

  From what I’ve read in other forum discussions, it appears that the link to WP Admin is being removed eventually from the Calypso dashboard for everyone.

  Regardless, you can always reach your WP Admin dashboard by adding /wp-admin/ to your site address.

  Let us know if you have more questions about that.

  Hi @carmelict,

  There is a link to your WP Admin dashboard at the bottom of My Sites. You can also access it by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of the site address — as @justjennifer suggested.

  Our team is currently focused on building and improving the newer dashboard you see at https://wordpress.com/ (including the new editor). There are currently no plans to remove WP Admin and the editor there.

  I hope that helps.

  I can see the WP admin at the bottom of my personal account, which has been generated for years. But for the newly created accounts, WP Admin is absent.

  But anyway, thank for your help :-)
