  Howdy,

  I wanted to add a new post but the Dashboard wouldn’t load. I can login and get to “My Blogs” ( https://wordpress.com/my-blogs/ ) but when I click on any of the links specific to my blog http://heretodaysaigontomorrow.wordpress.com/ like “Dashboard” or “Add a new post” or even just “Visit Blog” the browser hangs. I also can’t just go straight to the site. I then tried other browsers: Chrome, Mozilla, and IE all give the same result (I’m running Windows 8). I’ve cleared cookies and browsing history in IE and still can’t get to the site. In looking around it may be that I can’t visit any wordpress blogs. I tried https://blog.wordpress.com/ and http://harindabama.com/2014/06/08/food-of-the-fragrant-harbor-part-1-earth-sea/ .

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Warren

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

  There’s no known issue I am aware of.

  In order to help you we need to know your specific computing environment details. Please work through what follows and report back.

  1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/

  (a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

  (c) Disable all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily.

  (d) Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions

  4. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.

  I can log in now. I’m in Vietnam and it probably was the government or ISP blocking the site. They do that often for Facebook but I haven’t had it happen for WordPress before.

  Thanks

  HI @ wschnack. Yes, we have run into issues with users in Vietnam having issues accessing their blogs in the past.

  This is an old post, but the tips in it should still work if it happens to you again:
