  Are there any new themes coming out for 2026? I find my current theme and the new editors very confusing. The older classic themes were easier and simple. I wanna customize my site but I find the new editor confusing even when I watch videos and tutorials etc

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

  Thanks for reaching out. You are definitely not alone in feeling this way. The newer editor can feel a little confusing, especially if you were comfortable with classic themes and the Customizer.

  If you prefer a more classic experience, there are some themes that keep things simpler while still working well with the modern editor.

  Two good options to consider are:

  https://wordpress.com/theme/blocksy
  https://wordpress.com/theme/kadence

  Both of these themes still use the Customizer for many settings, which often feels more familiar and easier to work with, while also being designed to work smoothly with the WordPress block editor for your content.
  
  Let me know if that helps.
