  How do I switch back to Classic Editor on a free plan? AFAIK, installing the plugin requires a paid plan.

  As an add-on, I have read through the guide on https://wpism.com/old-classic-wordpress-editor-disable-gutenberg/.

  The site mentions a “Switch to Classic Editor” option in the individual post’s page which can be accessed after clicking on the three dots at the top right hand corner. I’ve tried that on a draft post, but I don’t see that option.

  Would be nice if someone could help a buddy out here. Thanks.

  Should have googled more, sorry!

  Seems like this other issue explained everything: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/new-free-plan-site-no-option-to-switch-editor/

  I think it’s because my account is newly created – the “Switch to Classic Editor” does not appear for me on my posts.
