  I am suddenly unable to create a new file on my blog. When I try, I get a message that tells me ‘The editor has encountered an unexpected error.’

  @writersbridgebridgebuilder Hi there, can you clarify whether this was within the classic block inside the block editor?

  I am asking this since there is still no answer on the question here:
  https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/classic-block/#post-3658397

  By the way, what is the URL of your website or what is the name of your account on the WordPress.com platform you need assistance with?

  Since I don’t like the block editor system, I’ve been trying to create a sort of hybrid approach juggling both that and classic (which I much prefer).

  My blog is titled Snowflakes in a Blizzard (snowflakesarise.wordpress.com).

  Thanks for touching base.

  @writersbridgebridgebuilder Hi again,

  I can see the different result between this post:

  At Home in the New World

  and this one, both posted on the same date:

  A Case for the Dead Letter Detective

  Since you prefer much better the Classic editor I’d suggest having a look at this document (explains how to use the Classic Editor) :
  https://wordpress.com/support/classic-editor-guide/

  Since it is being deprecated, I would also kindly suggest to read through these FAQs in order to set up a transition plan:

  Hope this helps a bit further!

  Hi. The Classic Editor is still available to all WordPress.com users, and it’s still free. See the recently revised How to Access the Classic Editor section of the Classic Editor support page linked to above by @anastas10s.

  Actually, the classic/block editor issue isn’t my most pressing problem right now. When I click “Posts” on my menu and try to create a new one, I get this message:

  The editor has encountered an unexpected error.
  Attempt Recovery
  Copy Post Text
  Copy Error.

  This makes my blog unusable.

  @writersbridgebridgebuilder Hi again,

  When I click “Posts” on my menu and try to create a new one, I get this message:

  I just tried and cannot replicate the error on my end.

  Could you clear the cache & cookies in your browser first and see if this fixes it?
  Here’s how:

  By the way which browser and operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc) are you using?
