  Help! My non business plan blog suddenly swapped across to the ‘block editor’.

  A NIGHTMARE to use in all sorts of ways it constantly rejects uploading images stating “No data found”.

  Please tell me how I can swap back onto the classic editor as online advice is to install the classic editor plug in which can only be done with a business plan.

  That’s something I don’t want to do.

  Thank you

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

  The Block editor is something we’ll all need to get used to eventually:

  WordPress Editor

  
  However currently the classic editor is still available. To switch back to the classic editor, click on the ‘. . .’ settings icon in the upper right corner of the editing screen. Then, scroll down and click on Switch to Classic Editor.

  Nope, no joy, that option /setting on the vertical ‘…’ isn’t listed.

  To the magic robot.

  Whoops, my screen resolution was too low!
  Yes it was present and yes it worked!
  Give yourself a gold star with many thanks.
