  I have been working for two weeks ‘https://seamv.wordpress.com’ as a block editor (kvoutiraki account). Everything seems to be destroyed. I would like to have the option to work as a classic editor.

  Hi there,

  You can switch to the classic editor by clicking on the three dots (next to the cog icon) at the top of the post or page editor and selecting “Switch to Classic Editor”.

  Here is a screencast of the steps to follow: http://cld.wthms.co/tOOMQ

  Hopefully, that helps.

  Thanks,

  The link ( http://cld.wthms.co/tOOMQ) with the steps doesn’t work.

  “You can switch to the classic editor by clicking on the three dots (next to the cog icon) at the top of the post or page editor and selecting “Switch to Classic Editor”
  I don’t have the option.

  I’m checking with our developers why you’re not seeing that option – as far as I know you should still be able to switch to the classic editor in WP-Admin.

  Meanwhile, have you tried using the classic block instead?

  Classic Block

  And can you expand on what you meant when you said “Everything seems to be destroyed”? What exactly happened that makes you think the block editor isn’t working?

  Hi there,

  Our developers are looking into it. We’ll update you here when we hear from them.

  In the meantime, you can use the Classic block as @kokkieh suggested.
