Where is wp-adminpanel, its gone?!
-
What I’m wondering is why remove/hide the link now? Now, when it’s still necessary to go to WP Admin to do the following:
1. Set posts per page (“Blog pages show at most x posts”), feed length (full text or summary), disable or enable Infinite Scroll, check or uncheck the “Show follow button to logged out users” setting, and more at Reading Settings.
2. Delete or edit post categories (Categories page)
3. Enable or disable testimonials and portfolio projects, and set the maximum number of projects, at Writing Settings.
4. See all of the widgets on some themes, because at Customize > Widgets some widget areas may be hidden depending on which page you’re on, and whether the template is full-width or not.
5. Configure the various settings at Media Settings.
6. Set, change, or remove the Blavatar at General Settings.And I’m sure there are more settings only available via the WP Admin dashboard that I don’t recall offhand. Every day in this forum, many members need to be directed to these and other wp-admin pages, and the corresponding support pages that contain the relevant information, instructions, and illustrations. Now giving the directions becomes needlessly more difficult, because of the removal of that link for many members.

@doc – Some of that is already in the Calypso Dash under Settings.
#1: the follow-while-logged-out button is gone. It was replaced by the Action bar whose settings cannot be en-/dis-abled.
#2 not yet
#3 partially
#4 need to check
#5 not yet
#6 under Settings>GeneralI agree that it can get confusing and frustrating. Being that WordPressdotcom is an eternal work in progress, that’s probably not going to change. Just my 2¢

The Calypso dash was meant to be more intuitive I presume. It fails I’m afraid. To access the Media Library there you have to pretend to add a new post. And the whole look is just too washed out for my (admittedly ancient) eyes.
I’ve just had a head-scratching moment in the Calypso dashboard. When you mouse over “My Site” it says “View a list of your sites and access their dashboards”. Clicking that didn’t do anything at all. I can only see my main site. Where are my test sites? It turns out that I have to go back to the wp-admin dashboard and make those sites visible. Even then I cannot “view a list of your sites and access their dashboards”. Now there is a “Switch site” button. Again, not very intuitive. The “My Blogs” in the wp-admin dash works so much better.
The only change I can see on the Calypso menu is an “Add new site” button at the very bottom which leads to the start/survey page.

@ justjennifer,
#1: the follow-while-logged-out button is gone. It was replaced by the Action bar whose settings cannot be en-/dis-abled.
I thought the “Show follow button to logged out users” setting determined whether the Follow button was included in the Action Bar. I’d read that in a forum topic recently, but I see that it’s not the case.
#4 Widgets hidden in the Customizer. This is a common forum topic complaint. See the topic Edin – Missing sidebar widget (yesterday).
#6 under Settings>General
Yes, see that now. Thanks. I’m sure the rest will be swallowed up eventually. I still find New Blue to be a nightmare because my experience is that doing nearly anything there is less intuitive, slower (extremely slow loading everywhere!), harder to explain to others, etc. compared to at WP admin. The support documents for features in New Blue are often vague, incomplete, and incomprehensible. I only go to My Sites to investigate questions I’m responding to in the forums. Would never use the Customizer if it hadn’t been made necessary for site header images and backgrounds.

I’m sure that he meant “sites on accounts registered over the last…,” as can be inferred from the context.
That’s correct, sorry that my previous description wasn’t clear!

sorry to say but above discussion is little confusing and its so much more that we cannot find the solution here simply about how to access wp admin thing.
how come account opening age and wp admin access is getting related?
currently i could not see wp admin link anywhere after getting logged in as before.well pls note down steps to avail wp admin as available before..

I have over 10 sites to manage, and having to bookmark every single wp-admin link is annoying, to say the least!
Good point. And that gives me an idea. Perhaps someone can develop a browser add-on that adds “/wp-admin” to any URL you happen to be on when you click the add-on icon in your browser menu bar.

If it simply adds “/wp-admin” that would only work if you were on the homepage of the site corresponding to the dashboard you’re trying to reach, and consequently reaching the desired wp-admin page would take at least a couple of steps to reach from My Sites. So better would be if the toolbar link could be designed to direct you to the wp-admin dashboard of whatever site dashboard you’re presently in at My Sites, regardless of which page you’re on in that dashboard when you click the link.

I tried this now, it doesn’t take you to the full CMS, where do you upload your media for instance? Don’t see it?

You can go to this page https://cisindustrialservices.com/wp-admin/upload.php and click the Add New button there. -
I agree that this is very annoying.
A workaround I found worked well for my clients:
1. Created a new blog for a client and he/she is the owner/admin
2. Invited me (as the owner of an “old” WordPress.com series of blogs) as an admin user
3. Now I can access my client’s blog from the main panel.Still, this is very unwieldy and weird.
If only all features could be accessed from the new panel but they can’t and sometimes they are also sorted out in a weird and unusual way.I hope that WordPress.org will never be updated to the new version of the Wp admin menu, Heaven forbid!

Perhaps I missed something in your post, but what you’ve described is how someone can be added as a User on another person’s site. That hasn’t changed and can be done in Calypso (wordpress.com/people/new/yoursite.wordpress.com) as well as in WP Admin (yoursite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=wpcom-invite-users)
As far as what’s coming in ORG, if you haven’t yet, you’ll want to listen to MattM’s State of the Word from WordCampUS. You can find it on WordPress.tv

سالهای پایانی قرن نوزدهم سالهای بسیار مهمی در تاریخ تست روانشناسی هستند. هانری بکرل نخست رادیواکتیویته را در دهه ۱۸۹۰ کشف کرد و بهدنبال آن، با برداشته شدن اولین تصویر رادیوگرافِ تست روانشناسی از بدن انسان توسط ویلهلم رونتگن در سال ۱۸۹۶، دانش تست روانشناسی نوین بهصورت امروزی متولد گردید.
There have been a few others posting in the forums recently saying the “wp-admin” link had suddenly disappeared from their “My Sites” menu. Interestingly, all had been blogging on WordPress.com for around one year. I really don’t know if this is a bug or something intentional carried out by WordPress.com staff. For now you’ll have to bookmark https://madeanddonebyanna.wordpress.com/wp-admin in your browser. It is still only one click to make either from there or from your “My Site” menu.

one thing is to debate around the topic… the cows may never come home again.
I mean: why change something if it is good and established? Rather than just take it away, and we all (users) have to deal with it, find other ways to deal with the inconvenience, why not give us a choice?
What difference does it make to have the WP Admin link in the “Cadilac, sorry calypso” menu or not?
