  Some improvements in the editor has occurred. Otherwise the wordpress program is worse in almost every respect.

  • Formerly it was easy to find your way through the dashboard of the page – now it is a struggle to to find what you need.
  • Formerly all used tags turned up with size indicating usage. Now only a small part of them show and no usage indication.
  • In the old statistics page, it was possible to easily entered desired length of statistics period. The new offers only the statistics for the same day unless one tweaks and looses time.

  I have over a dozen blogs and the managing of them has become a time-consuming burden with the new version of WordPress.

  SUGGESTION: Return to the old program until you have a new one that really works. Before publishing the new version, it must be approved by feedback from a large beta-tester group. The present one is far to immature.

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

  You do not have to use the new editor or the new stats pages. You can use the classic ones instead. 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

  Thank you very much! Your name is wrong – it should be Timesaver! You address all the issues I needed to get solved.

  You saved me a lot of time by helping me out of the mazes of the unproffessional WordPress change process disregarding the users.

  It is incomprehensible how they can go on like this for months in spite of a lot of negative feedback. I cannot understand why they don’t use beta-testers.

  Their mentality is like Microsoft – ignoring feedback and forcing a dysfunctional product on users (like Win8). I suspect they have got “Windows-megalomania“.

  I really hope a competitor comes and offers a highly user-friendly alternative – then I believe there would be an avalanche out of WordPress.com. Perhaps you know of a potential competitor? This is a golden opportunity.
