  I have been reading the forums for hours trying to figure this out. I have a free account, in block editor. I have none of the buttons/menus described anywhere in any forum post to change my blog to a classic format.

  I stared my blog in block editor, but also contribute to a blog in classic editor and I need to move drafts back and forth – so I’d like to change my blog into classic so the formatting works.

  In absolutely zero of any of the instructional links am I able to figure this out. I don’t have any of the buttons or menus that are described.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Solved, because I’m persistent, although certainly wordpress is not into making it easy.
  In dashboard you must go to POSTS and then the classic editor will show in the view tab top right. Then you can start a new draft in classic editor.
