Editors
The Editor is where you add the content to your site or blog. Both posts and pages use the same editor. This page explains the different editors you can use.
WordPress Editor
Also referred to as the Block Editor, the WordPress Editor launched in late 2018. It is the most powerful and flexible WordPress editing experience and used by millions of website owners around the world.
Each site element, like images, text, videos, and headers, is added through a block. Blocks are distinct structural elements that allow you to isolate areas of content to edit.

Edit HTML in the WordPress Editor
You have two options for editing HTML in the WordPress Editor:
In the toolbar for each block, the ellipsis, or the three dots, has an Edit as HTML option to edit the HTML for just that specific block.
If you want to edit an entire page or post’s HTML, click the ellipsis near your Publish button to switch to the Code editor.
Switch to the WordPress Editor
If you created a page or post in the classic editor before the WordPress editor was introduced, the WordPress Editor will preserve your existing content in a Classic Block, which maintains a lot of the same functionality as the Classic Editor.
You can convert the content to blocks using the three dots at the top right of the Classic Block.
Classic Editor
The Classic Editor was the default editor for WordPress.com sites and blogs before the WordPress Editor (see above) launched.
Within the WordPress editor, you’ll find the Classic block which replicates the functionality of the Classic editor inside of the WordPress editor. Here’s what it looks like:
The Classic Editor is also available in WP Admin — the classic WordPress dashboard. You will often see images of this dashboard when looking at WordPress tutorials online. While you can do almost everything in your main WordPress.com dashboard, you can use WP Admin if that is your preference.
There are two ways to access WP Admin:
- You can click on the link to WP Admin at the end of the list of settings under My Sites (shown left.)
- You can add
/wp-adminto the end of your site’s url (for example:example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)
To edit a page or post in the Classic Editor, click on the title of the page or post:
The Classic Editor is made up of two editing experiences; the Visual Editor and the HTML Editor.
Visual Editor
Powered by TinyMCE, the Visual Editor looks very similar to a word processor. The visual editor icons allow you to format text, change font alignment, insert bulleted and numbered lists, and more.
HTML Editor
The HTML editor allows you to write your pages and posts in HTML or edit the existing HTML. To access this, click on the Text tab next to Visual.
When you need to add a shortcode, add some font style, or paste in code from an outside source, you can use the HTML editor.
Third-Party Editors
Sites that have upgraded to the Business or eCommerce plan can install plugins like third-party editors such as Elementor and WP Bakery. Sometimes third-party themes will include a customized editor too.
Bear in mind that when you use a third-party editor, the best place to get support for the tool is through the developers who made it. They often include links to contact them directly through the tool’s setup page in your WP-Admin Dashboard.
