  I hate the new formatting menu. I know there’s a way to revert to the old one but can’t remember how. Anyone?

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

  You are using an extremely outdated retired theme and the recommendation is to switch to a newer theme. That recommendation is because themes are not retired unless they no longer support all wordpress.COM features.

  I suggest browsing some of these themes https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/white+custom-header+two-columns+right-sidebar+responsive-layout/?sort=free

  Switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes

  Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site. Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/karuna and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  To create a custom menu see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/view-all/

  You didn’t really answer my question — perhaps I didn’t make myself clear or didn’t provide enough information. In any event, thank you for your response.

  In the meantime, I’m learning to work with the new editing format (although I intensely dislike it) and have completed my site so I’m going to mark this as “Resolved.”
