  I can’t edit or create content in any of my posts, old or new, as of today. I can see the post in Preview or Read Blog modes, but I can’t see anything at all in the ‘body’ part of the post in Edit mode – so can’t edit it. If I create a new post, I have the same problem – I can add a title, but when I click in the ‘body’ part, nothing happens – it’s unclickable space. Does anybody else have a similar problem?

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

  I’m having the same problem! If I highlight what I wrote, I can see it there.

  I am having the same problem.
  Noticed it yesterday. We are two admins for one blog and he can work as usual so it might have something to do with my computer/firefox/settings (not working on any browser)

  Somebody uploaded some scanning software recently – I was wondering if it had something to do with my computer too. Notice I can add body content in the shortcut version of ‘New Post’ – the one that opens up a smaller window.

  and you’re right about highlighting – if you highlight the blank space you can see the html, but you can’t edit it.

  Same here, it’s like my blog just magically STOPPED WORKING.

  tarpon.wordpress.com … can someone help or explain what is the problem.

  Up until now everything had worked flawlessly.

  I have exactly this problem since last night also…even worse that is that I needed to add some short code before the post went live this morning as it is included in a blogging carnival!
  I asked pretty much the same question before I realised it was a common problem at the moment it seems..

  Verified “Create a post isn’t working” [resolved]: It seems that Adblock is causing the problem. It’s an add-on by Firefox. I think Wp is trying to rectify the problem.
