The Solution To Use The Classic Editor

If you are blogger at wordpress.com, this post here will help you to solve a big problem. As you have noticed, the decision makers at WordPress want to force you to use the recent new editor interface that is purely designed for mobile devices and for users who only create short-form content. This is of course a pain if you are desktop user and if you like to create long-form content as well. In this post you will learn how to get back to the classic editor permanently.

I wonder if they’ll get the hint if every redirects back to the old?

    I agree, but it is nice to hope. BTW, the last few days my blog did some really weird things so I’m assuming they’re up to no good again….

        That’s what everyone who doesn’t pay them anything says. I bitch because I pay them quite a lot of moolah.

        I’m sure you’re not the only paying customer who has these types of problems and complaints. There once was a time people listened to their customers…
        I actually do pay a little because I want to play music on my site.

        Ah yes, of course ! Well, I’ll be paying a lot less when the current various things run down; as maintaining just the one blog means they’ll get only half.

        Yes, no sense paying for two.
