Blocking Google Disables WordPress 'Add New Post' Functionality
-
I block all google numeric URLs on my router (in protest of their incredibly poor control of pr0n). Apparently WordPress uses google fonts and api’s for adding new pages and posts. How do I get around this limitation?

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

sorry, i may have mis-diagnosed the problem. i have unblocked all google urls (and any ad blocking software) and i still have the problem of an unusable ‘add post’ display as per the attachment.
any thoughts?

A couple of thoughts – it looks like you are missing the CSS part of the web page
Could you test these links and let us know if you can access them? What you should see is a bunch of text (CSS actually). If you can access some, but not all, let us know which you cannot access.

Thx for getting back so quickly. All three links opened up just fine, and the css looks ‘normal’ … see attachment for a screenshot of the 3rd link

This is the first I’ve had this issue, and I’ve been posting for a couple of months.

By the way, this issue happens in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera (the only 3 browsers I have installed). I’m Win/XP on a Compaq Evo 410c accessing the internet through a proxy.

Have you tried these tips: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
I have also flagged this for the staff to help – maybe they have an idea – usually problems like yours are something is not getting to your PC and being filtered out maybe by your ISP
-
tried all the browser-issues tips except for switching isp, which would be an impractical solution anyway. no joy.

Howdy!
You mentioned that you are accessing the internet through a proxy. If you disable the proxy and try adding a new post, do you get the same result?

And the answer is … hxwg.
hxwg is a blocked URL keyword in my proxy (pr0n) which I unblocked and now WordPress works as advertised. No idea why this word was blocked.
Thx for all who helped.
