  I frankly hate the new editor, it’s confusing and won’t add media. But I do not have the option in the ‘…’ tab to switch back. Please help.

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

  Hi there!

  To change to the classic editor you’ll want to click on the three vertical dots that you’ll see in the right upper corner when editing or writing a post: https://cld.wthms.co/wyqlbN – this is a screenshot from one of your drafts.

  You mentioned that the Block Editor won’t add media. Can you tell us more about that? You should be able to any compatible media file without any issues, for example by using the Image Block:

  Image Block

  We’ll be happy to have a look if you’re having any issues with that.

  Good morning,

  I opened a new blog and would like to go back to the classic editor; the option “Switch to Classic editor” doesn’t appear.
  My blog: https://lemniscata.home.blog/

  Thanks.

  To restore the Classic Editor, follow the steps under “Will I still be able to use the old editor?” at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

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