 * Is it just me, or is WordPress disintegrating? Every update seems to produce 
   more and more issues, to the point where it’s almost unusable.
 * The big one for me is that the Classic Editor no longer works even on a brand
   new install with a default WP theme.
 * I’ve tried blocks, but they have issues with any/every plugin I try to use.
 * I haven’t been able to load the theme library for months… or maybe longer, can’t
   keep track of it anymore. I have to go to WP.org, download each one individually,
   try it out, rinse and repeat…
 * And when I do find a theme I like, they almost always seem to break in the customiser…
   so many times now changes just won’t save.
 * I’ve switched hosts a couple of times recently trying to make things work, but
   the same issues keep coming up.
 * As a long time WP user I’m reluctant to give up on it, but I’ve resorted to hand-
   coding my last couple of projects from scratch, because WP was just too hard.
 * Not sure anyone can help here, unless someone’s had a similar experience and 
   found a simple issue I’ve overlooked? Is it just me or is WP just trying to do
   too much to be effective anymore?
 * Thanks!

 * Classic Editor was replaced with Block Editor aka Gutenberg back in December 
   of 2018 when 5.0 was released.
    You can use the [Classic Editor Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)
   to get the old classic editor back.

 * Theme library? If you mean the Kit Library that Elementor offers that is happening
   because you need the pro version…. if you have the pro version you need to contact
   their support for help with that. You can do that [here](https://elementor.com/support/).

 * Yes, been using the Classic Editor plugin since then, but it won’t work in most
   of my WP installs… text window OK, but as soon as you switch to the visual editor
   everything disappears… blank screen. This is happening on multiple sites. have
   tested with WP default themes, various other themes, old sites with all plugins
   disabled, and even today brand new site without a single plugin.
 * The theme library I was referring to was the listing that used to come from WP.
   org when you’d go to Add New Theme… nothing ever loads. The wheel spindsas but
   nothing ever happens.
 * Just like the what seems to be happemning more and more in the customizer… try
   to save even the most basic changes and it won’t save. Can leave it for an hour
   and try to move on you get the message changes will be lost.
 * That’s the one that’s making this unworkable for me… I’ve been working around
   all the other issues, but lately I can’t even make basic changes in the customiser,
   so ready to give up.
 * Starting to wonder if it might be some issue on my local machine because it’s
   starting to impact sites I’ve operated for years?

 * Same case for me. I can’t publish & save after edited on my old theme any on 
   customize.php editing.
 * I tried downgrade or different version wordpress. The theme /wp-admin/customize.
   php can’t publish anymore. I just wonder it my issue only.

 * There seems to be a problem with the hosting for both of you. A white page and
   problems saving content or settings always indicate a server-side error. My recommendation
   would be that you go through the debugging as described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * Also have a look at the site health data of your installation: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/site-health-screen/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/site-health-screen/)

 * I agree with [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) you could
   also use the [Health Check & Troubleshooting Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   to figure out what is causing the problem.
 * There is a small chance your theme or even page builder plugin (if you are using
   a page builder) could be causing a conflict with the Classic Editor Plugin.
