    Just logged into a vintage blog to make urgent updates and all I’m presented with are blocks and no options to choose Classic editor in ether Dashboard or on a Post.
    I’ve never understood blocks – far too geeky for me – and want to access my blog via Classic. Please tell me how?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    It is still possible to use to the classic editor when writing/editing posts/pages in your site’s Dashboard, but to do so you will need to follow the steps here as it is no longer the default editor for WordPress.com sites.

    We also recommend the classic block, which is a block you can add to “insert” the classic editor inside of the newer block editor, and has the familiar formatting tools you are used to: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
