  I cannot find the classic mode to compose and edit my blog after clearing my cache today. I was thinking of paying for a wp web domain. Thank goodness i did NOT, as the beep beep boop YAY you published a blog sickens me. I am not a 2 year old. Has the classic mode gone for good? Shall i now find another host for my blog?

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

  Hi there,

  You have to go through the WP Admin to get to classic mode, or here’s the url for it:
  https://%5BINSERT NAME OF YOUR BLOG].wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  I hope this helps!

  https://[Insert The Name of Your Blog].wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  Many thanks guaiava.

  I have been really upset over this. I actually hate, Hate, HATE the new editor and the new stats page as well. What’s wrong with people? When something works why do they have to ruin it? Non-existent one to one customer support is horrendous. Rarely have I been so angry with a website. This is yet another step to keep track of but usable. Thank you again.

  I still want to know why i can no longer access the classic mode straight from my word press editor though. Doing it this way is difficult.

  The reason i hate the stats page isn’t even listed in the reasons for use. I can see at a glance which countries and how many people/views and sources i have, and what they’ve clicked on. That’s all I need to know. This is a daily blog. One entry a day about something relevant on that day. With some free kindle books. Tags don’t matter. Blog content doesn’t matter. Who follows or comments doesn’t matter. I just want to know how it’s going day to day. The new stats page makes that difficult and I can’t see it in a glance.

  You can.
  See the arrows and clic on My Sites-> WP admin or My Sites-> Posts-> Add new

  I don’t want to add new. Because I edit all my old blogs with books that have increased in price i will go through 30-60 posts a day. Doing something extra every time is ridiculous. All i want is the classic editor. I’m looking for a better blog site.
