  Why did you take away the button for the old Editor. The new editor is, in my opinion, awful.
  For example, it displays the pics I put in it with a weird aspect ratio, even though they are okay once viewed in preview.
  JUST PUT BACK THE BUTTON TO THE OLD EDITOR AND THE OLD STATS PAGE RIGHTA THE THE TOP.
  Both the new ‘improved’ pages are so micto-soft in their appearance and NOT USEFUL!
  Thanks!!!

  Hi there,

  If you are focused on locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats click this link Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface

  That is not going to happen and we have known that it will not happen since March 18th, 2015. For clarification on what’s been fixed, what we are working on, and which features from WP-admin are not being included in the new editor click the link provided.

  And, what happened to my tags and catigories!? Most of the usual ones are gone from the pull down list at the side. The old editor was much better on this too!!

  That’s addressed at the link I provided above https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-reinstate-the-option-of-choice-to-use-the-old-publishing-format/page/32?replies=942#post-2338964

  You do not have to use the new editor and I provided the instructions for using the classic one above. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  Thank you V E R Y much. The old editor had all my previous tags and catigories, and has more functionality.

  ANOTHER question, if you don’t mind:
  I just scrolled back looking for some old posts, and discovered that the list only goes back to 2012!
  Do you have any idea what could have happened to my older posts??
  They are valuable to me, for research references and such!
  Thanks much T. O’D.
