Sometimes it is useful to use a short URL to link to a post of your blog, possibly to share it in a message or in other sites.

If you are using the classic editor, you can find the short link button on the editing page of the article itself:
However, where is that shortcut if you open an article with the block editor, much more flexible and useful than the classic one?
One can say: open it with the classical editor if you want that short link! But while trying to follow the procedure, an alert pop-up message says: “This article was previously edited in the Block Editor. You can continue in the classic editor, but you may lose data and formatting“.
