Follow these tips to get your old layout back! You may find yourself using an old browser or extension, or simply using the help section to figure out how to switch back to the old layout. Read on to find out more about switching back to the old Facebook layout. You may have to switch back to the old layout before you can take advantage of new features. Some Facebook features may no longer work in the new layout.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switching_back_to_the_old_Facebook_layout\"><\/span>Switching back to the old Facebook layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to switch back to the old Facebook layout is to open the old version of the social networking site. Using the Old Layout trick tricks Facebook into thinking you&#8217;re using a different web browser. This makes changes to your Facebook page invisible. By switching between the two layouts, you can change the look of your Facebook page without deleting any existing changes. Instead of deleting the changes, you just have to refresh the page.<\/p>\n<p>The classic version of Facebook has many advantages over the new one. It has more features, including filters for groups, your city, and your friend&#8217;s location. It&#8217;s also easier to search between friends, and the new layout makes it easy to find posts within groups. The search function has also been improved in the classic design. You&#8217;ll have an easier time searching between friends and postings in your timeline. The new version also includes a new look for the personal profile section.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_an_old_browser\"><\/span>Using an old browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently made the switch to the new Facebook design, you might want to know how to go back to the old layout. It&#8217;s not hard, but it does require you to use an old browser. The first step is to find an extension that will allow you to view the new layout. Many browsers have this extension, but some don&#8217;t. You can download it from the Chrome Web Store and install it on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try installing a Facebook browser extension called Old Layout. This will trick Facebook into thinking that you&#8217;re using an old browser. This will then allow you to switch back and forth between the two. This method does have some disadvantages, however, such as a notification that tells you that you&#8217;re using an outdated browser and that you&#8217;re not saving the changes that you&#8217;ve made.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_an_extension\"><\/span>Using an extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are tired of having the new layout and want to return to the classic design, you can use an extension to get the old Facebook layout back. The extension does not do any heavy programming changes to your browser, instead, it tricked Facebook into thinking you&#8217;re using an old browser and it reverted to the classic look. This extension is free and can be downloaded HERE. However, you should remember that the old layout may break anytime, so you should use it with caution.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main drawbacks to using an extension to get the old layout back. The first is that some features might not work, and you may have to reload the page to see them. This means that your extension might not be compatible with the latest version of Facebook. And because it is not the official Facebook tool, it could stop working completely at any time. Also, you should not expect the extension to be updated as often as Facebook does, so make sure to test it out before installing it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_help_section\"><\/span>Using the help section<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are tired of the new look on Facebook, the only way to restore your old layout is to revert to the previous one. You will need to reload your browser in order to bring back the old layout. You may get a notice stating that you&#8217;re using an outdated browser. Facebook won&#8217;t register this. In such a case, you&#8217;ll need to live with the changes for now. Also, some features will not function as they used to.<\/p>\n<p>After the new design, Facebook users can use the help section to get the old layout back. The help section explains how to do so. You will need to know your page ID. This ID is different for each page, and you will want to change it if you want to switch back to the old look. Then you will need to know the new page ID if you want to switch back to the classic Facebook layout.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_page_ID\"><\/span>Changing your page ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to change your page ID on Facebook so you can have the old layout back, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. While you&#8217;re here, you&#8217;ll notice a few different things that need to be done. First, you&#8217;ll need to find the name of your Page. Sometimes, Facebook will put the name of your page in the navigation menu. If so, you can click on it.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re trying to get your old layout back, it&#8217;s important to make sure you have a current browser. Facebook won&#8217;t register the new browser you&#8217;re using if you&#8217;re still using an old browser. If you&#8217;re still using an old browser, Facebook may show a notice that says your page is not compatible with the new layout. If you want to get the old layout back, you&#8217;ll have to deal with the inconvenience of not being able to use new features.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bSf1hGMm8Ek\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"536\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Switch Back to the Old Facebook Layout?
