  Hey! How can I switch back to the Classic Editor instead of the Block Editor? I would like it to be my default, if possible. Thanks!

  Clicking on “My Sites” “Posts” or the “Write” button top right will always take you to the Block editor. The best thing to do is bookmark the wp-admin New Post page in your browser as that is where you now find the Classic editor.

  So there’s no way to get back to the Classic Editor once I’m on my site and not in the wp-admin page? I thought there was a way to do it (according to this article: https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/), but I’m not seeing it as an option on my own site.

  Not if you’re definitely working on a site here at WordPress.com. The Block editor is the default going forward. That link applies to sites hosted elsewhere using the wordpress software. That plugin is what you get anyway at wp-admin on a WordPress.com site.
