Can't edit photos

  I’d like to crop some photos I’ve uploaded to my media library for use on my blog. In the old format, this was easy enough to do by going into the media library, clicking to edit the picture, and using the tools there. In the new format, a) I can’t even get to the media library from my dashboard or anywhere on the site — there’s no link in the left nav or anywhere else I can find; and b) when I upload a picture, there’s an option to edit the picture but when I click ‘edit’, no editing tools appear so I can’t crop. In looking through the FAQ, the instructions and screen captures are from the old format (‘click Media Library from your blog’s dashboard, etc.’). Did this disappear for everyone, or just for me? Can some point me in the right direction?

  Hi there,

  You can access to the WP Admin by using this direct link: https://fishersabbaticaladventures.wordpress.com/wp-admin.

  The WP Admin access link also appears on the left side bar on the new format – it’s the last entry at the bottom of the bar, after Settings.

  From the WP Admin you should be able to easily access to the media library and all the image editing tools.

  Let me know if it’s clear and if you have any other questions – happy to help. Cheers!
