  If I write a post in the old-style editor (which I prefer), if I click the edit button on the post, it brings up the new style editor with no paragraph breaks in the text … so frustrating. Does anyone know why or how to stop it?

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

  You can’t. See here for use the classic/old editor:

  a) to add a new post
  https://mumshomecooking.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  b) to edit a post
  https://mumshomecooking.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
  and hover the title of the post and click on edit

  BTW, I don’t use the new Beep Beep Doom editor. Never.

  Thanks. I can format text easily enough … it’s just so frustrating to have to reinsert all the paragraphs each time!

  Worried they’re going to remove access to the old style editor.
