Happy Tuesday! So it took a little longer this morning due to the fact that the WP new editor found me! What do I think of it? Lets just say I need more coffee! I did see something where you can download the classic editor and stick with it. So hopefully I can figure that out or else will just figure this out. Either way, I am happy that I at least could post. Now I am ready for some Strawberry pie. My husband made me one yesterday, and it is very good! What is your favorite pie? Go ahead and grab your favorite snack, while reading the following quotes. Make your mind and stomach smile!

I can say that frog legs are very good. Taste like chicken in a way but, I wouldn’t necessarily classify that as seafood, tho… My favorite seafood is soft shell crab. It’s interesting to eat one in a sandwich with all the legs hanging out. Conch is good, too, which is close to a snail. If octopus or squid are over cooked, you might as well be chewing on a rubberband. Do you like clams, oysters or sushi?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh crab is good but eating with the legs hanging out! No thanks! I prefer the crab meat out of the shell. LOL!
I went out on a first date once and the guy ordered crab legs for me. He was trying to impress me, it was a fancy restaurant BUT he was a half hour late and so by the time we got to the restaurant I was starving! I didn’t know what to expect but you should have seen my face when the food came. He showed me the nut cracker to use to crack the long legs hanging over my plate. It was too much work for the little bit of meat and I kept splattering my face with the juice. I wasn’t impressed. LOL!
I do like clams and oysters. Shrimp is my favorite. Sushi I did not like when I first tried it. The texture made me gag. But my son convinced me to try a different kind and it was really good.

Okay, you open the WP Admin, which takes you to the Dashboard. Open “All Posts.” This shows a list of all the posts you’ve recently posted. There’s an “Add New” button at the top, to the right of the word “Posts.” There’s a Down Arrow to the right of that, indicating a drop-down menu. Click on the Down Arrow, and down will drop a list of choices between the Classic Editor and the Schtupid New Editor. Click on Classic Editor.

I think it won’t have an arrow until you try the Block Editor. Then you’ll be defaulting to the Block Editor, and the only way to get out of it will be to use that arrow, which will magically appear.

Yes, I was confused too! It has defaulted to the Block Editor or maybe they are just giving me a trial period? When I click on write new post, its the Block Editor. But if I go into the WP Administration like you were telling me to and click on All posts and then the Add New button where the mysterious arrow was supposed to be , the Classic Editor pops up. Its not full screen but I can still post from there. Try it and you will see what I mean.

About five years ago. But the arrow thing just started about three or four months ago. I was playing with the Block Editor for about an hour, trying to see if it was something I might want to use. But after I finished with it I couldn’t find the Classic Editor anymore, until I noticed the arrow with the drop-down box. So maybe there’s something in the programming that gets triggered if you stay inside the Block Editor too long.

Both editors and all of WP is programmed in PHP & Javascript…the same with FakeBook. Redesigns are one of two things…(1) suggestions or demands from customers (why doesn’t it do THIS?) or (2) because they want their platform to look & act like everything else…polished…all under the guise of “improving” the experience. People want more & more from their websites…bells, whistles, pretty things and MORE functionality. More functionality means more code. And, here at WP, the more they tweak, the more they break things.
