Thanks to Foxfier for linking to this site, which allowed this author to re-acquire the Classic Editor for her WordPress site. If you prefer the Classic Editor as well, then follow the directions through the link and get it back today!
After the last screwupupdate by WP, the Classic Editor had disappeared, again,,,
BUT!! I have ‘discovered how to get it back!!

Caroline, thank you for sharing this. I’ve been using the “Classic Editor” since I started 10 years ago and all through the new block editor schemes. But, alas, this past week scrambled to learn the block editor when the Classic up and disappeared. Blogging blessings to you!!!! Virginia

You’re welcome. I’m glad it helped! MaddMedic and Foxfier are the ones who deserve the real credit, though. Without them, I’d be up the creek without a paddle, too!
