  Hello,

  I don not understand why that new editor is necessary. What is wrong with the existing one? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That block-system is crap and does not help you while writing your text. To the contrary: the lines disappear, the blocks jump and it is not clear what exactly you are doing.

  @photodj,

  Hi,

  What’s wrong with the Classic Editor indeed? Thank you!

  WordPress.com has recently combined the Calypso and WP-Admin sidebars into one, as described here: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/unified-navigation/. The damage can be partially remedied by choosing the “Show advanced dashboard pages” at Account Settings > Dashboard Appearance.

  The Classic Editor is still available to all WordPress.com users. Here’s the Classic Editor support page, and the recently revised How to Access the Classic Editor section of that support page.
