  Hi,
  Is there a way to get my previous format for writing a new post as I find it difficult to negotiate the new options? Much appreciated.

  Hi there!

  I guess you’re talking about the new Block Editor?
  The Classic one has been retired so it’s not possible to set it as default anymore.

  We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

  And, if you really want to use something like the Classic Editor, we recommend sticking with the Classic Block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

  We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

  If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!
