  I can’t do anything on this new update or whatever happened. Does not let me add new and I get error messages for everything I try to do. Can I go back to the way it was?

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

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  For more details, please see https://wordpress.com/blog/2020/08/13/the-classic-editing-experience-is-moving-not-leaving/

  We do recommend the new editor though, and we have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  I really wish it would go back completely like it was….I have tried the classic and when I go to add a block/remove I keep getting error messages and then the screen freezes. The title and adding an image is fine I guess but nothing else seems to work right.

  I have always used this site in chrome and now it doesn’t even load and gives this message every time and I have tried on multiple computers “Sorry, we had a problem fetching your Reader subscriptions.” Explore will load but I get the error messages with the blocks.

  This is extremely frustrating for something as simple as I add on this site.
