timethief, I have many friends with the link to the classic dashboard in the “Beep Boop” sidebar.

You can use http://snag.gy/ or http://cloudup.com to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

“Painel WP Admin” is the link to your classic dashboard.

@galois
Thank you so much for posting here.
I had to give up, lest I started ripping my hair out and it took 4 years to grow it down to the middle of my back. lol :D

Galois, I explained that this was not a screenshot, just a image that I found to explain to ifmonsayok about the sidebar that I´m talking about. My sidebar is similar to this one, but does not have the link to the classic dashboard.

@karlosguedes, new accounts do not have a link to wp-admin. You would be welcome to create your own bookmark and use that, though.

No problem. It’s just that brand new users probably aren’t familiar with wp-admin anyway, and since Calypso is what they’ll see on devices and apps, we’re trying to keep things simple for them. But wp-admin will still be there if you know the URL.

Cheers, @karlosguedes .
