  How can I get to the classic mode for editing a new post? The new mode doesn’t load correctly, and it is very slow.

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

  The edit links below posts will not direct to the classic editor. However, if you go here and do what I do you won’t have any issues using the classic editor when editing posts. > Dashboard > All Posts

  Hover over the title of the post you want to edit and then click the edit link that appears when you do that.

  To use the classic editor to create posts like I do, go to Dashboard > Posts > Add New
  Here is the model so you can see the format
  http://INSERT_NAME_OF_YOUR_BLOG_HERE/wp-admin/post-new.php

  Here is the link to the page on your blog
  http://fractad.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  Note that you can bookmark that link.

  To use the classic editor when you edit posts like I do, use the Posts -> All Posts menu, hover over the post title and click the Edit link.

  Here’s the list of workarounds all in one place:
