  Hi, I know that last year you guys had like a Admin Toolbar which was just a bit easier to use then the current setup. Is this just for people who have paid plans, or is there a way to get this to come up when editing pages and posts etc.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi there:

  We’re continually making improvements to our tools, so it’s likely something changed between last year and today. Can you give us more specifics into what was on this toolbar that is missing now? Perhaps we can clarify where those items are now and/or give feedback on these changes to our development team.

  Thanks!

  It came up when you had the wp.admin after wordpress usually. But, I can’t find it anymore. It was like a right angle “L” bar stretching from the left side of your screen and along the top, it had a load of little icons which you could click on to do certain things. Just struggle to navigate around the new set up.

  Thank you for the help.

  This sounds much like what I see currently, so I’m wondering if you’re seeing something else. Would you be willing to share a screenshot of what you see? You can upload to https://wordpress.com/media and then update us here so we can take a look.

  Okay I’ve got the 2 photos saved now in my media. Is there a way to get them onto here? Or can you just view it through my account? I couldn’t find exactly what I was talking about, but found the admin bar at the top which I’m looking for, and I swear there used to be a widget/icons bar on the left side of the screen previously when editing on WordPress.

  Thank you.

  We can see them from our end, or you can copy and paste the links to the images for all to see.

  I see one of your bar across the top but not /wp-admin, and I also see your editor but with all of the side options tucked away under the gear icon.

  Are you looking here?

  And for the editor, yeah that is pretty significantly different and has a lot of handy new features, too. We have a guide here:
