old version (to post new blogs)
-
I’d like to switch back to the old format for creating my blogs, it was easier to use and had tons of my tags already uploaded!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no ability to revert. You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
On the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
To create posts in the classic editor for you that link is http://theradiocrytic.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.phpIf you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

The Classic Editor will continue to exist in wp-admin. We know some users prefer to use this editor, so we want you to have access to it, instead of phasing it out with the new version of the Dashboard. However, a link to the Classic Editor will not return to the New Editor. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/when-editing-an-old-post-how-do-i-switch-to-the-classic-editor?replies=5Features that won’t be included in the new editor

The new editor has ruined my school’s WP.com experience. The new editor does not retain previously-set parent-child page nesting. One of our school blogs has 1000+ pages with multiple page nesting; asking kids to go to WP Admin, search for their relevant page amongst 00s, and THEN edit from the Classic Editor just leads to chaos.
One arrogant decision has effectively ended 8 years of happy WP blogging. -
I have exactly the same issue here. I teach classes using wordpress.com, and now student page links are everywhere. Please add the ability to choose sub pages when setting up parent.
