I hate, hate, hate the new block editor so much, that for a while I didn’t even post. Despite an 800-person, overwhelmingly negative, response to the idea before they launched it, they went ahead anyway, and now people are selling plug-ins to remove it.

Go to the Posts page here: https://wordpress.com/posts/yoursitesname.wordpress.com

Click on the Views options on the top right corner and click on Classic view.

It will bring you to the interface where you can access Classic Editor. Here’s a screenshot:

Then mouse over the blog post and choose Classic Editor.

Under Add New, you can now choose Classic Editor, and it works.

There may be better ways. I have not found them.
