Oh, that’s nice

It turns out the Classic Editor is a plugin. Download it, install it and…screen goes blank and error message above appears.

Swell.

It’s funny – nothing actually seemed to be broken. I did get an email, and it said the WordPress Automatic Updater was the culprit. Weird this flaw presented itself the exact moment I enabled Classic Editor.

Eh. I disabled Automatic Updater on spec. I’m not in a huge hurry to update anything else. And I got my Classic Editor back! Thank you, commenters.

I ain’t touching anything else today. Enjoy the vintage comments in the sidebar and have a good weekend, all!

This is what happens when you have the White House Press Secretary Muppet plug-in select “recent comments” for the sidebar.

It’s been trained to Psaki-Circle back to yesteryear.

WordPress. Hmm. I do believe there’s a kind of clothes press called a Mangle. Just sayin’.

Yea…it’s not entirely FUBAR. One must take victories where one finds them.

So sorry, Uncle B.

Okay, now recent comments are just…gone. I didn’t touch anything, I swear.

Oh dear. We had to transition to the block editor over on the free wordpress.com sites, first it was an option, then a suggestion, then a feature and then mandatory.

It does suck and we are just using the templates, I can only imagine your customized pain.

Not that I ever paid much attention to them but, yeah, the right side of the page looks kinda barren…

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
