Quick summary

We have an A4A WoA site configured to "Classic" View. The "General > Settings" menu item is expected to link to the General Settings page with a "Site Profile" box. However, the menu item takes us to the Settings page (Hosting settings page) instead. As a result, users cannot edit any of the site profile details, like Site Title. Issue reported here: p1726081657524279-slack-C0347E545HR

Actual	Expected

The issue can be reproduced for the site fuzzydelightfully.wpcomstaging.com under the a4ademo account. See account access details: pfunGA-1mD-p2#details

Steps to reproduce

1. Log in to the a4ademo account.
2. Go to wordpress.com/sites
3. Search for fuzzydelightfully
4. Click on "WP Admin" in site overview to get to wp-admin of that site.
5. Select "Settings > General".
6. You'll land on the "Settings" (Hosting Settings) page.

What you expected to happen

Users should land on the "General Settings" page with a "Site Profile" box, where users can edit the site title.

What actually happened

Users landed on the "Settings" page without a "Site Profile" box and cannot edit the site title.

Available workarounds?

Yes, easy to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

To edit Site Title, the user may:

• Go to the wp-admin general settings page directly via: https://{site-url}/wp-admin/options-general.php
• Switch to "Classic" admin interface. Then "Settings > General" should take users to wp-admin/options-general.php.

Although, what I've noticed is, after changing to "Classic" view, changing back to "Default" view throws an error.

And we remain in some weird state where there's a mix of UI, where "Settings > General" links users to wp-admin/options-general.php instead of the General Settings Calypso page.

This issue can be reproduced with the site delightfulbuttery.wpcomstaging.com.
