  I don’t see the “add media” button (or any of those buttons above the regular tool panel) and I spent like half an hour trying to add an image in the visual mode. I managed to set a featured image, but nothing that would show up on the page. Eventually, I had to add an image in the text (html) mode, only then did it finally work.

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

  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
