 * I’ve installed this in a Multisite install and cannot get the options to appear
   on the Writing screen.
 * This fails both with site activation and activating on individual blogs.

 * Please see [the screenshots](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/#screenshots)
   for the locations of the settings.
 * If you still cannot see any settings, perhaps there is a plugin conflict?

 * I have installed this on a multi-site and I am having the same issue. When I 
   go to the location writing under settings as shown in [@azaozz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azaozz/)‘
   s screenshots the only settings I have available are ‘Default Post Category’ 
   and ‘Default Post Format’ dropdowns.
 * I have also tried [@spherical](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spherical/)‘
   s suggestion and checked my network settings but can’t see the option
 * > Classic Editor [] Allow Site admins to change settings.
 * I only have…
 * > Enable administration menus Enable menus: Plugins
   >  Snippets Snippets » Settings
 * I have tried checking and unchecking all these with no success.
 * Otherwise the classic plug-in works but I can only turn it on/off by activating/
   de-activating the plug in directly in the ‘Plugins’ section.

 * [@chloecwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chloecwp/) To see the
 * > Classic Editor [] Allow Site admins to change settings.
 * option on the Network Settings screen you will have to “network activate” the
   plugin.
 * Otherwise you will have to let individual site admins activate plugins (there
   is a checkbox on the Network Settings screen for that). Then each site admin 
   can activate and use Classic Editor just like on a single install.

 * Hi [@azaozz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azaozz/)
 * I have tried both network activating the plug-in and activating the plug-in via
   individual site admin log-in and get the same issue. I can activate and de-activate
   the plug-in fine, and when the plug-in is on (no matter which way I activate 
   it) I get the classic editor view which looks just the same as it did before 
   upgrading to guttenburg and when I deactivate the plug-in I go back to the block
   view. This shows it is working in some capacity.
 * The issue I’m having, is that when the plug-in is activated there is no way to
   access the classic editor settings to alternate between the classic editor and
   block view whilst the plug-in is activated. I can’t see any of the setting locations
   detailed in any of the screenshots you supplied earlier. I’ve looked in every
   location in every screenshot and those settings do not appear in any of them.
 * I have also checked my network settings and the “Allow Site admins to change 
   settings” option doesn’t appear there either!

 * Ok I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in again and I can now‘
   enable site admins to change settings’ under my network settings.
 * Thanks [@spherical](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spherical/)
