  Where do I send feedback. The new editor sucks. Some things I can’t seem to make work at all, and for others I’m having to deal with workarounds. Surely other people have already complained. There should have been time to work out issues with italics in titles and placement of graphics by now.

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

  You can get it by writing wp-admin after your url. Suppose you are having url like abc.wordpress.com – then just write – abc.wordpress.com/wp-admin.

  By going to WP-admin -> dashboard -> Post – You get back your old editor.

  Please explain further how to get the old editor back. I checked on the Dashboard and I don’t see any option for Post.

  If I’m understanding this correctly, you can also go this route:

  1. Click on “My Sites” so that you arrive at the dashboard.

  2. On the bottom left under “Configure”, you should see “WP Admin”. Click that, and I believe you should arrive at the old editor.

  Okay, nevermind. I see what you mean. It’s another workaround.

  @lelaebuis – That’s not a workaround, but that is how you get to the WP Admin dashboard where you can find this link to create a new post in the Classic Editor: https://lelaebuis.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  As far as leaving feedback on the New Dash Editor, there’s a very long thread here where you are welcome to add your comments: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editor-feedback/

  Best wishes

  Thanks. I had a look, but I’m unable to do some things from this version of the Classic Editor that I had no problem with before. For example, how do I add italics to a blog title? Before, I just added html tags. That no long works, plus the visual editor won’t do it.
