Is anyone else having problems with the WordPress editor? Sometimes, when I’m working on a draft, it won’t let me go back to a previous paragraph to make edits. It seems to freeze on the paragraph I’m in. To get out of it, I usually have to look at a preview of the post and hit edit from there to open it in a new tab.
I’ve tried asking WordPress for help but no luck so far. Just wondering if others are seeing this happen.

Not surprised to hear, I’ve been having trouble often on with WordPress forever

It’s just annoying – again. I really need to do any updated theme for my site, one that will support a different look for my blog and my author pages, but I don’t have the brain to do it.

Are you using the block editor (or whatever it’s called) or the classic editor? I’m still holding onto the classic editor. Classic editor is becoming progressively more annoying to use. Is WP doing that deliberately to get me to switch to the block editor? I sometimes believe so.
I haven’t switched to the block editor, because of the way my brain works. I’ve practiced with the block editor on a website that I’ve unpublished. I have such a hard time visualizing where the invisible ‘blocks’ go in the post.
So, to respond to your question… Yes. I’m experiencing problems with WP. 🤷♀️

Sorry for your troubles, Kaye. I am using the block editor and have been for quite a long time now. I think there have been some changes recently with trying to integrate AI, which I avoid like the plague. I hate that the simplest thing, like putting my cursor into a different place on the page, is causing it to freeze up on me.

I’m still learning how to use WordPress block editor. To be honest I really do miss WordPress classic editor. It made editing one’s site so much simpler.

WordPress block editor is a bit of work. Their classic editor was so much better. Keep the faith.

I know some people still use the classic. Not sure I remember how at this point, it’s been so long since I used it.

By the way, it’s been months since I wrote this post initially and I still sometimes seem that same problem with the block editor – and it’s still annoying.
