The <strong>post preview frame<\/strong>, where you could visualize what the post would actually look like, was removed and replaced with a link.  Now you can get that post preview back.<\/p>\n<p>The Preview Frame wordpress plugin promises to get the post preview back. Many forums have voiced the anger of the wordpress bloggers at removal of this feature as people were <em>actually using it<\/em>. The <strong>Visual editor<\/strong> by WYSIWYG editing does give you a good idea about formatting, but your CSS finally changes how it finally looks in live preview.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the basic idea was to make wordpress <strong>post editor load faster<\/strong> as the whole page did not have to load in the preview frame. It makes editing multiple posts faster too.<\/p>\n<p>I remember that when I switched from Blogger to wordpress, I had used a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/topic\/how-to-turn-off-preview-mode\/\" rel=\"noopener\">hide post preview<\/a> wordpress plugin combined with Visual text editor to increase post editing speed as I fixed hundreds of posts.
