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.

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

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…
