Here is a reply a blind blogger received about her dislike of the Block Editor.
Keep complaining! You never know!
Heres what the customer service rep at wp said to me when I sent in my complaint.
I’ll put what I wrote and then their response back to me!

Hi! I wanted to bring it to your attention that most of my blogger friends and me are not happy with the block editor, many of my blogger friends are going to move their blog elsewhere, can you bring back classic editor? I am blind, and the block editor is confusing. Classic editor works well! Is there a possibility you can use it again or we can have a choice? I’d really love it if we could, I don’t want to see all of my blogging buddies abandon their blogs and leave wp!

Great one from Fraggle too. Horrible how WP always pushes their inventions forward, without any consent of users. Best wishes, Michael

Me too, Don. The question is whether or not WP will remove that option in time.

That’s all I have ever done, and the only way I have ever posted since I started. 🙂
Hoever, I suspect they will eventually remove that option.

They have to remember that their advertisers are targeting bloggers. If they have less bloggers, the advertisers will stop using WP. That’s simple economics. 🙂

Yes, it does sound like a standard reply. Shame there’s no way to contact somebody who is truly in charge directly… I’ve found writing an e-mail to Jeff Bezos at Amazon sometimes gets things moving. (He doesn’t reply personally, but normally somebody who can do something about it does). Let’s keep this going. Thanks, Pete!

I doubt WP care about the hobby bloggers, but if their advertisers have nobody left to target, then they might!

I hope so too Pete. As I said over on Kim’s blog, their answer didn’t fill me with a lot of confidence, but hopefully I am wrong about it. I have to say though that I received a video from Fraggle that was really helpful. Right now I’m still using the old editor and hopefully can keep doing that 😊

Fraggle’s guide is really good. Like you, I suspect it was a ‘standard reply’, but it doesn’t hurt to keep trying! 🙂

It seems to be aimed at the business and professional users. They pay bigger fees to be on those premium plans of course. I just see no reason why they couldn’t have left the option for anyone who doesn’t want to change.

We are still using the old editor (from 2012).
You go to Admin Dashboard.
On the left menu, scroll down to ‘Posts’
Then select ‘Add New’.
What you get by doing that is the old classic editor format.

Don’t know if that link will work for you, but try using the Admin dashboard.
