Oh dear! It’s ages since I wrote a post and I was just starting to think I might get going again. I was already struggling with the new editor so am dismayed to hear there are more changes with the interface sigh. 😩 Oh well, back to my happy knitting place….! I hope you and your family are all doing ok Ute. Sending love and hugs xxx
Lovely to hear form you Liz, we are all well here and hope you and your family too. It is harder to find things on the editor. As I am retiring in a month I have all the time to learn the new editor. That is one project for me. 🙂 Keep knitting Liz and take good care. Sendign back much love nad hugs! ♥
Tell me about it. When we decided to downsize and make our site simpler and easier to navigate everything was different. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.
I hope the peas are coming and help you to roll along, there, dear Ute!!!
Yesterday morning, everything still looked normal on my end. Later that day, when I sat down to work on my next blog post and had a nice flow of inspiration going, it had changed for good. 😱
When I choose the new “classic” option, I can get along with everything. Some things I even find easier. Others I find disorienting – not because I have to find out about new functions but just because it’s not “intuitiv” for me (for others it probably is, but people are different).
Fortunately I found all my favourite options, so far. Except, I have not found the option to create a short link, anymore. I am missing that. Also, I cannot size my images as precisely as I prefer, but that is “high end moaning” (Nörgeln auf hohem Niveau).
Much Love and Gutes Gelingen for working with the new editor (that really is not so new anymore, but for us it is)! 💗
Steffi, I will just have to learn and find things. Once I use it for a while I will get used to it. I am sure, practice and remembering where what is. Sometimes I am not sure what it is called what I am looking for… so it is tricky. Well let me get my peas….. I’ll be fine surely. I am looking for a tutorial and learn from there, I was just clingin on my classic one. Happy weekend!
I have been struggling since the new look began. My words aren’t placed in the right way. The cursor jumps all over the page. To do one page takes twice as long because of the constant edits. I hope it works itself out
definitely not original -( it is available onT-shirts and posters ) but it fit right in.
It certainly does thank syou 🙂
I’m still using Classic Editor. I tried the new Block Editor and I don’t like it. I found a way to continue to use Classic but it too hard to explain, would need to show you.
I have been creating an ‘image’ for almost all of my posts, then I just insert it. I seldom ‘write’ in WP any more.
That is a good idea! 🙂
Liebe Ute,
deswegen bin ich dann konsequent auf den Gutenbergeditor umgestiegen. Hat ein wenig gebraucht bis ich mich daran gewöhnt habe, aber nun kann ich meine Beiträge schneller erstellen 🙂
I hate it also, and argued with them on a chat the other night. They showed me how to find it. Here is what they sent:
I created a quick video here just in case: https://d.pr/v/d8WFPu
Lee, THIS IS IT ♥♥♥ …YAY…… that made the difference, so for now I can again use the old editor. Phew. I will still eventually learn it though, but in my own time at my own pace. Thank you, thank you so much! You are a star! ♥
Hi Lee, thank you for that, that is how I did it last week. Now I don’t even get that view anymore when I look at all posts. It is straight in the Block editor. I will just have to learn it. One day thay really switch that classic editor off. Thank you very much Lee
You’re welcome. I decided to get off my duff and try to learn this “Block Head” editor. I may have to teach blogging again in the future. For new bloggers it probably is okay. I actually looked at this sight – https://www.competethemes.com/blog/wordpress-block-editor-tutorial/ – and tried following their instructions. It probably is easier, but when you have written one way for years….. 🙂 Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Yes I will do the same, learn it! Thanks for that tutorial, i was looking for something like that. I am sure we can learn it. New challenge! 👍😊 Thanks for all your help in this. Xx

Oops, their )

Good morning and a happy weekend to you, Ute. I’m not happy with the changes and am losing my mojo. 😘
It is so much harder, yes. I find it tricky but try to learn it now. Happy weekend!
Tell me about it. When we decided to downsize and make our site simpler and easier to navigate everything was different. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Oh great, I am sure with time I will learn it too. 🙂
I hope the peas are coming and help you to roll along, there, dear Ute!!!

I don’t understand why they keep changing things. It takes longer to get used to!
I hope you have a nice stress-free weekend!
Thank you , same to you, lovely weekend. I know constantly changes….. One I am used to something they change it again. Well, I’ll learn for sure!
I have been struggling since the new look began. My words aren’t placed in the right way. The cursor jumps all over the page. To do one page takes twice as long because of the constant edits. I hope it works itself out
It does take longer, definitley , I deleted a post by accident and had to redo it. I am positive we will learn it though!
“Visualize whirled peas.”
At least one of the changes is SPRING !
Spring, yes that is a great change!
🙂 I love the Whirled Peas! Brilliant!
definitely not original -( it is available onT-shirts and posters ) but it fit right in.
It certainly does thank syou 🙂

I will be learning it, I am sure, just need to set my mind to it. With time we get used to everything when we use it more often. ♥ There is hope! 🙂
Having NO control over changes is so frustrating.
It is indeed. Something new to learn now! 😦

Ganz genau, Klaus. Alles Liebe von Ute
