  I’m using a screen reader. There used to be an option that would permanently switch back to the Classic editor, but you guys removed that option. Can you give me a direct link to switch back to the classic editor for good?

  I’m using NVDA. I want to permanently switch back to the Classic editor as long as I can.

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

  Hi there,

  The classic editor in My Sites is being permanently removed – that was our own in-house editor, separate from the editor included in the WordPress software itself, and it is no longer feasible for us to continue maintaining it.

  The classic editor in WP-Admin is still available, but it is no longer possible to set it as the default editor on your site. You can reach that editor via the Posts and Pages section in WP-Admin:
