    I just installed WordPress on a new site and the interface is off-putting. You can see an image here:

    I want it to look like the old style interface, seen here:

    https://www.my-health-and-fitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Old-Style-Interface-scaled.jpg

    As you can see, in the old style the title text goes in the editing box, and the left hand sidebar isn't collapsed. I think a plugin might be doing this, but I am not sure which one.

    I am sure there are many WordPress experts here who can tell me how to fix this in a minute or less. Help!

    Here's how to do it:
    1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
    2. Click on "Plugins" in the left sidebar.
    3. Click on "Add New".
    4. In the search bar, type in "Classic Editor".
    5. Find the plugin in the search results and click "Install Now".
    6. Once the plugin is installed, click "Activate" to activate it.
    After activating the Classic Editor plugin, your interface should revert back to the old style. You should now see the title text in the editing box and the left-hand sidebar should be expanded.
