Here in Sydney, we are facing days of heavy rain. Summer never really happened, due to the rain (thanks La Niña). Now it’s autumn, and the rain seems to have increased. We shall all soon float away! Sitting on my sofa today, in the early evening, I realised that this small pot of cyclamen on my windowsill provided the only colour in a grey, grey world.
(ps: WordPress, if you are eavesdropping on people’s posts – I HATE this block editor and the associated interface that you are now forcing me to use!!!)
Amen to the block editor. Occasionally I can accidentally revert to classic mode but I have no idea how to intentionally do it.

Pretty colour. I still use classic editor, I go through wpadmin and choose new from the drop down list at the top of all posts, not from the menu.

Sadly, no. I could do that until this week, but now it’s all changed. My posts page looks completely different and that dropdown no longer exists.

How weird. Mine haven’t changed.

yes, that’s my standard ‘go to’ url. Takes me to the dashboard, as always. But clicking on Posts or Media on the left menu takes me into this new world. That screen grab is what happens when I to go the usual ‘wp admin’ dashboard then click on Posts at left. sigh.

Oh, not good. I suppose we’ll all be forced into using the block editor at some point. Total overkill for hobby bloggers who don’t want their blog to look like a website. I actually have a script running on my computer which automatically runs the classic editor, had it for years since they tried to force the previous block editor on us.

Here’s something. If I click on ‘Posts’ in this dashboard screengrab (which I have never done before), I DO go to old Posts page with the option of ‘classic editor’ in a dropdown. Hurrah! God knows how long that will last before they block that route too!

Mine has changed too! 😰

oh no!!! It’s a conspiracy. But my trick of clicking on the number of posts in ‘at a glance’ still works to take me to the old Post page with Add New>Classic Editor. So far, anyway.

Yup, still using Classic too, clicking on New in WP admin gives you the choice as Jude says.

I no longer get that option. A few days ago, my interface was entirely changed.

Lovely cyclamen! And it seems you have me and Jude popping in for a wine…or two 🙂 🙂

The wine gathering will have to be indoors, what with this deluge we’re having. 😦

I can cope if you can. I’m drinking a rather nice Douro white. Maybe a little early for you? 🙂 🙂

It’s 12:18pm here, so that would go quite nicely with my upcoming lunch!

This is what my “all posts” page now looks like. Even my media library looks different.

If you scroll down do you not get wpadmin at the bottom?

You should see the raindrops today. It is “deluge day”, we could get 100mm of rain just today. I ummed and awwed over which colour of cyclamen to get — and then, as I was leaving, I spotted a woman with one that had purple stripes and wondered how I’d missed it?!
