New editing system has serious bugs.
-
The new “beep beep boop” editing page often alters the formatting of my blog pages, eliminating line breaks and conflating paragraphs into a continuous sentence, while the older editing system did not.
Why do you keep making “improvements” that make things worse?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there! I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the new editor. Do you have a post that I can look at that had this happen?
-
No, I fixed it every time it’s occurred, which used to be only my home page, since other pages used the old system, which worked perfectly.
Please give us the option of keeping the old system for all pages. It was superior in every way.

You do have the option of using the legacy editor. We have no plans for removing it. You can open the legacy editor, and set a cookie in your browser that makes all of your edit links head there instead, by clicking on the link at the very bottom of the side bar in the dashboard editor:

Let me know if you have any more questions!

That link brings up a static page which has no functioning clickable options.
How do I open the legacy editor from my blog and set it as the default?

That link shows how you choose the old/legacy editor.

@Shawna: maybe there a bug with the new editor and the contact-form?

On the right column, under Tags & the Add button.
You can add tags, like modlook.
Moodlook is to attract the attention of an staff member (Shawna). -
Yep! Our system pulls in all the tickets that have the tag “modlook”. Makes it really easy for us to work through them, so if you ever need our attention, just add that tag. :)

PLEASE HELP!! The “switch to the old editor” link does not appear in my editor – I’ve scrolled to the bottom and looked there and everywhere else. (I’m using the Academica theme.)

I want to identify a parent page for the page I’m adding or editing. But the new “improved” editor does not offer the specific parent page that I want to select as an option: there is a radio list of possible parent pages to select, and it’s not among them. And there is no option that I can find to ask it to present me with “all pages.” Nor can I scroll this radio list, as was possible with the previous editing environment. The parent page selector for the new editor page is really, really frustrating – it is a giant step backward.

Hi there! The link to the legacy editor has been removed. You can access the legacy editor through your dashboard.
However, the new editor does show all of the pages you can choose as a parent. If your page is set to a draft, it will not be displayed in the list in either editor.
-
uuccmc, You can also save your page as a draft, click on “pages” in the left drop-down dashboard menu on any page, find the draft and quick edit it to fall under a parent page, and then return to editing if necessary before publishing the page.

Riversong, that didn’t work for me. What eventually worked was to open the Admin page and open the page from there – I was able to get the legacy editor to open there. I do hope WordPress will be adding the features back that they deleted in the transition — these include:
— full access to the parent page options
— ability to modify the publication dateThese are the features I know about.
I would also like to know whether the legacy editor is going to be discontinued altogether. That would be a hardship indeed.
-
I agree. Both the “improved” editor and the “improved” stats page are huge steps backward.
