I use the P2 Classic theme and it has lost some functionality.

When I open a new post, I do not see the horizonatal bar with Bold, Italics Links images, etc. I do see them after a Save Draft.

Also, Tags, Choose from the most useful tags, and Categories are not working.

I tried twice rebooting the computer. I looked for a button to press, noting happened.

How can I get back to full functionality of the theme?

Thanks for any help.

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

Hi there,

When I open a new post, I do not see the horizonatal bar with Bold, Italics Links images, etc. I do see them after a Save Draft.

Can you clarify where you’re opening a new post? Are you using the front page post form, or https://wordpress.com/post, or wp-admin ?

Also, can you include a link to the affected site?

wp-admin.

https://sciencesprings.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

Thanks for your help. I have to do a Save Draft to get access to the horizontal tool bar with Bold, Italics, etc.

I cannot access Tags or Categories.

I cannot access my image library and are forced to rely on Google images.

If you look at http://sciencesprings.wordpress.com you will see that I am getting posts done, but not the way they should be with Tags, etc.

Thanks. I hope you can help me get P2-Classic running properly.

Ah ok, the Dashboard is a bit limited here.

You’ll be able to access what you need when posting through https://wordpress.com/post

For more details, see https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/

Sorry, thanks for your help. But nothing here gets me back to my full P2-Classic theme which is what I want and need.

I do not see why I need to tolerate this. P2-Classic has been my theme my whole time at wordpress and it has never malfunctioned.

This is obviously a glitch at wordpress and wordpress should fix it so that it is fully functional.

Otherwise I may simply move to another provider like Blogger.

Are you using the Block editor? You’ll need to add the classic block to see the toolbar.
If you are working in wp-admin make sure you’re in /wp-admin/post-new.php?classic-editor

You can also permanently restore the Classic Editor following the steps under “Will I still be able to use the old editor?” at https://en.support.wordpress.com/wordpress-editor/#frequently-asked-questions

Sorry, none of this was useful. I am not using the Block editor.

I just want what I had. Why the theme went corrupt is not my fault.

I want it fixed.

My thanks to everyone involved.
