  Howdy –

  Please share more details with us about your question(s). It sounds like you’re inquiring about a post format or an author on the site.

  I’m talking about a post format that has disappeared. It used to look like this:
  /Users/katrinayurenka/Desktop/traditional.png
  and a spellcheck was available here: /Users/katrinayurenka/Desktop/nospellcheck.png
  (hopi g that these present correctly)
  There is no longer a spellcheck and the format I receive after selecting “add new post” is this: /Users/katrinayurenka/Desktop/Untitled1.png

  Where is the format that I have used for five years? and likewise the spellcheck?
  Have you discon tinued it? I tried useing the available one but still find no spellcheck nor access to tags and categories.

  @kyurenka we can’t see the images on your desktop, but if you’ll upload them to https://wordpress.com/media and then respond here, we can take a look.

  okay. image 1 is the screen I used to get for posting but no longer has the spellcheck in the tool line that I had for 5+years. image 2 is what I get now.
  I use Safari so I tried it on Firefox but I get the same thing.

  Got it. You are using the block editor now.

  You can switch back to the classic editor by using the three dots in the upper right, then click Classic.

  Hi there,

  We removed the built-in spellcheck feature as it has become a bit redundant lately. Most major web browsers have some form of this already built-in, and free extensions like https://www.grammarly.com/ are making huge strides in the field.
