Clicking to edit or start a new post in Calypso redirects to WP-Admin

Hi all, this is an issue I’ve been having for the past few months. I was initially told to seek support for Jetpack, which I did, and the consensus was that my issue was due to my use of the Classic Editor plugin.

Quick aside– I can’t stand the block editor and have been a huge lover of Classic Editor!

However, I’m also a fan of editing in Calypso… actually, for various reasons, I have to use it during most days because I don’t have access to WP-Admin. Anyway, a few months ago, whenever I’d go to edit or start a new post in Calypso, I’d get redirected to WP-Admin, which meant I was unable to edit during most days.

I tried all of the solutions suggested to me in the aforementioned thread including deactivating and deleting Classic Editor as well as a number of other plugins, but it didn’t work.

I’m getting desperate and was wondering if anyone here might have a solution for this. I’m to the point where I’d pay for help, I just don’t know where to look.
