the block editor sucks and it’s difficult to reinstitute the ‘classic’ editor
-
When I follow the directions for reinstating the classic editor, as I understand them, that’s not what I get. I have been blogging with you for fifteen years. I find the block editor to be unnecessarily complicated and am thinking of switching platforms if I can’t get satisfaction.

Hi there!
The Block Editor bring way more customization options than the Classic one but you do not need to use those if you don’t want to.
If you just keep writing, the Paragraph Blocks will be added automatically.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/
We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/
If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!
