  I’m trying to put a photo in and keep getting an error message. I’m taking the image from my iphoto library and when I click on add media, upload files, it says insert media, drop files anywhere to upload. I select the photo and it shows uploading in the media library. Then it says in a red box: error: HTTP error. How can I fix this? All my other photos have gone in just fine. Now I can’t seem to add any at all.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is a post editor with all features the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ lacks and you can use right on the dashboard of your own blog.

  There has been a change to the post editor interface at https://wordpress.com/post/ and Staff are recommending that we bypass the New Dash in favor of posting directly on our sites at Dashboard > Posts > Add New. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/where-did-the-add-media-button-go?replies=2#post-1927520

  For image uploading please note the Staff response here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-there-now-only-small-pictures-in-the-post-can-i-get-them-big-again?replies=3#post-1927594

  There will be further new iterations of the post editor at https://wordpress.com/post/ and that is why the advice is to go to Dashboard > Post > Add New
