old admin page
-
The old admin page seems to have disappeared and clicking on “admin” now takes me to the dashboard. I like the old page better. Does anyone know its url so I can keep using it? Thanks.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Hi, try this url to access the old admin panel, it should still be accessible
https://notesfromtheuk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ -
Nope, that’s the one I’m trying to escape. Thanks for the response, though. I just knew I should’ve bookmarked the old one, but I never got around to it.

Hi Ellen,
So to clarify, you’re not looking for WP-Admin, but for the interface with the blue bar at the top? To get to that interface you can click on My Sites that should be visible in the admin bar on any site on WordPress.com as long as you’re logged in.
Where exactly did you click where it says “admin”? The My Sites menu contains a “WP-Admin item at the bottom which will take you to http://notesfromtheuk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/, but I don’t know of anywhere else that links to that dashboard.

Hi Kokkieh. I’ve been going to My Sites, scrolling down to the bottom of the menu, and clicking Admin. That now takes me the dashboard. It used to take me to a page that, in a left-hand box, had posts (subdivided into all posts, add post, and something else I don’t remember) and various other useful categories.
Is that description any use at all?
-
I wonder if you mean:
http://notesfromtheuk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
Which is just reached by clicking “posts” once you’re in the wp-admin dashboard. -

That description is the WP-Admin dashboard, which is where the admin link should take you, yes. Is the sub-page @themagicrobot linked to above perhaps the one you’re looking for?
-
Sorry, but I don’t understand the question.
Is there any way to get the admin link to take me where it used to? Preferably one a non-tech-savvy person could handle?
-
Clicking “My Sites” gets you to the “new” dashboard. Clicking WP Admin gets you to the “old” dashboard. You can do pretty much anything you need to do on your site from either place. Are you saying that http://notesfromtheuk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php (which is only one more click on from the WP Admin link) still isn’t the page that you are looking for?
-
Thanks, MagicRobot, that’s close, and very helpful. It’s actually the page just before that–the one that should allow me to choose it as one of the possibilities–that I’m looking for.
-
Exactly. It’s one of the pages I use, but I’d like to get back to the old admin page, which I find easier to work with. So although what you’ve suggested is helpful in case I can’t get back to the old page, it’s not what I hoped to find.
-
“The page just before that” for me is what you get when you click the WP Admin link at the bottom of the My Sites dashboard. I can only suggest that you click your way through everything in the WP Admin dashboard to find the page you prefer to land on first (My Blogs or Stats perhaps ?!?) and when you find it then save that link in your browser.
-
That’s where it’s been for me until suddenly the link led me to a different page.
Thanks for trying. I appreciate it.

I checked your account and I think I see what’s going on. You have the menu in your WP-Admin dashboard collapsed, so it’s only showing icons instead of words for the menu. Click the arrow at the bottom, and it should look the way you’re used to:
-
That did it. You’re wonderful. Thanks so much. And we’re not even going to think about how it got collapsed, right?
I’ve been blaming WordPress and calling it every possible insulting name I know (that takes a lot of time). I’ll stop now. I’ll even apologize.
-
@ellenhawley I’m glad you got it sorted.
@kokkieh That’s why you’re a Happiness Engineer. I had never even noticed the “collapse menu” button. That’s what happens when you have scroll bars. I’d never been lower down than “Settings”!
