blockchain has new design recently. I'm a little bit confused with that. so I wanted to make a new address, but when I clicked "receive", there is this caption "A new address has been created for you to share with others in order to receive bitcoins."

so I have a new address, but how about my old address? still it can receive fund or not? and can I receive funds from that 2 addresses? or only one of them? should I always set it before sending money or receiving money?

thanks for the answers.

According to bitcoin principles ,it's always a good thing to generate new receiving addresses for every transaction.For security purposes I believe.The rule does not only apply for blockchain.info but any other wallet in general ,when you create a new address it always belongs to your provided you have the private keys for that address.So the answer is yes,you will always receive money on the previously generated address if you still own it's private keys.

I have same problem with OP because i've created a new wallet for use as a cold storage my earning but i just want use one address can anyone tell me a tutorial for this problem.

Well for that reason maybe you can copy or backup your very first bitcoin address or the address you want use only a safe place so whenever you have a transaction, or you want to send funds from any wallet to that blockchain wallet address you can easily to browse where you're address is, because when you want to receive bitcoin to your blockchain account when you click receive a new address is made so its better to do above

You can create as many as possible addresses in your blockchain wallet and you can see the balance that each address holds in your wallet as all have the same identifier (your wallet's username). You can send and receive funds from any address in your wallet and even add your old addresses of a different blockchain wallet if you have a private key. When you send money, you get an option to choose the address you need to send from and the balance appears besides it, but remember that you cannot combine that amount and send a higher amount that you own in a particular address. I personally don't find it useful to have many addresses as you cannot spend all the wallet money unlike with coinbase and xapo that are 3rd-party wallets.

You can still receive in your old btc address according to blockchain.info support:

Can an address still receive funds even though it’s no longer displayed under Receive?

Yes.

All public addresses generated from one of the accounts in your wallet can still receive funds, even if they no longer appear under Receive. As explained here, a new address will automatically display under Receive once the previously displayed address receives a payment.

In Settings -> Addresses, you can click on Manage Addresses to the right of each account to view all of the labeled addresses that have been generated for that specific account. Clicking Used Addresses allows you to see every receiving addressed ever generated within the account, as well as the current balance of each of these used addresses. Please note that when you send bitcoin, your Blockchain wallet automatically selects addresses to spend from. That's why the current balance of an address can be different from the total received value.

yes there new design is vey attractive bit there are many features not available like signing message and other thing also new wallet is slower then the old one

Besides slowly we also difficult to find for private key, for security is not tested so I suggest to use old version if available and you bitcoin balance is big.

Yes you can receive it as long that address is made from your account. Even you made almost 30 bitcoin address, you can still receive it when you use it to receive your coins.

Yes, your old address still can receive funds. (I reuse some of my address frequently, which is bad practice Tongue

)
You can still see your generated address in wallet settings.
