  Hi there, if you want to return to the classic editor please see the following support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/ under “Will I still be able to use the old editor?”

  Let us know how that goes.

  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.

  @delawaredem – please be considerate of other users by starting your own forum thread rather than posting into theirs. This also ensures that your issue gets the proper attention.

  Hi folks, I’ll go ahead and close this thread so the original poster doesn’t continue to get pinged with other people’s requests. I’ve made sure the original poster has been switched back to Classic.

  If you’re having trouble with the new editor in your own WordPress installation, this may help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/.

  Note these forums are actually for the sites here at WordPress.com, which is different than what you have as your own WordPress installation at another host, so I’d recommend checking the support forum here for further assistance:
  https://wordpress.org/support

  If your site is on our servers, and you’re unable to switch back to Classic by using the three dots in the upper right corner of the editor, please open your own new thread, and select the affected site, so we can help: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

  Thanks everyone!
