How to get back to the old editor?

Hello!

I’d like someone to tell me, please, how to get back to the old editor at the wordpress.com?
I don’t understand him very well. For that reason, I don’t like it.
Then, in another blog of mine, in the new editor, I can not enter the categories. I click the section on the right side. I hope, i hope and do not open. The labels open.
That is, I have a bad experience with the new editor and wanted to go back to the old one. Somebody tell me how, please?

I thank you!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We have tips for transitioning from the classic editor to blocks https://wordpress.com/support/switching-from-the-classic-to-the-block-editor/ and FAQs: https://wordpress.com/support/replacing-the-older-wordpress-com-editor-with-the-wordpress-block-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

And, if you really want to use something like the classic editor, we recommend sticking with the classic block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/classic-block/

We also have some extensive documentation available at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/

If you have any feedback on the new editor, we’re always looking for ways to improve it, so please let us know!

Hello!

Thank you!

But you didn’t understand what I want.

I know how the new editor works. But I’m not getting away with it. I have three blogs. In two of them I already have the new editor. And in one of them, I’m not getting the categories. I click the up arrow, and they don’t open. I hope, I hope. I wait an hour and nothing. They won’t open. I have reported this problem to support and have not responded!

In a few, I want to go back to the classic editor. But I don’t know how to do it.

I’m a user of wordpress.lcom

That sounds like a bug! Can you let us know which blog that is so we can help you sort out the issue?

In the meantime, you should still be able to access to classic editor if you must, but it will not be available forever, so we will want to resolve any bugs like this before it’s gone.

I was not able to find any previous mentions of this issue in your support history, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Please send more details so we can solve the issue.

Thanks for the reply!

My blog, in which I can not enter the categories is this; https://blogcontraatauromaquia.wordpress.com/
I tried today, and it didn’t, just like it’s been happening!

Greetings

Thanks Mário Jorge. I did notice that site has over 9,000 categories, so I wonder if it’s hitting a limit of sorts.

Can you open the JavaScript console, then try to add a category, then get a screenshot of the page with the console?

You can upload it here: https://wordpress.com/media
