  Hi there, I am playing with the new editor, which I loathe (blocks, seriously? I am blogger and don’t have time for this nonsense) Your forums here do not use blocks, so you know it is a bad design.

  Anyway, there is a copy a post option in the classic editor. I do not see it (or it is not obvious) in the new editor. I hope that will be a feature. I know I can “save” blocks for reuse, but sometimes, I want to COPY the full post, make some minor modifications and publish.

  thank you in advance!

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

  I am trying to switch back to the Classic Editor because the new editor is absolutely horrible. I clicked on your link above and followed the instructions, however, I do not have the option to switch to the classic editor like you say I should. Please fix this immediately or else I will cancel my account with WordPress.com and move my site to a different platform.

  Hi @cbiancardi,

  there is a copy a post option in the classic editor. I do not see it (or it is not obvious) in the new editor.

  This isn’t yet implemented, but it will be soon. If you want to use the old editor instead, you can revert to it by clicking the three dots at the top right corner of the editor and selecting “Switch to Classic Editor” option.

  @delawaredem – I have already replied to your other thread here:
