 * Just a few days ago there was an update to the editor. It had “blocks” which 
   was a bit confusing. Now my editor reverted back to the older editor. What happened?
 * Additionally, the two posts are still in the block format. How to change them
   back?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Feditor-22%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Did you install the Classic Editor plugin? That will change the editor back to
   the old, familiar one.

 * No, I don’t have anything like that. Nothing changed on my end.

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins
   and themes one at a time.

 * You want the Classic Editor plugin. PLUGINS->ADD NEW. It should be one of the
   first few that show up.
