  Some reason, it started happening last night, I can’t edit published posts. I’ve always been able to and now I can’t, did something happen?

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

  Hi, @alyxwriter,

  I would like to confirm that you are accessing this site:

  The blog I need help with is alyxwrites.blog.

  Sometimes this is due to being logged into a different account. Is there any chance you have more than one account, and this one doesn’t have the proper access to the site to edit?

  If not, is there anyone else who has Administrator rights on the account.

  Just doing high-level troubleshooting to start. Let me know on the above information, and I’m happy to help.

  Yes that’s the blog I’m accessing. I don’t have any other accounts, this email is the only one I use for my site and I’m the only one who has access to it.

  Thank you for responding.

  You are able to access the site, and posts just not edit them?

  Are you able to add a new post?

  How are you accessing your site? Is it via desktop, app, etc.?

  Thanks for the additional information.

  Yes, I can make new posts, I can work on posts that are drafts (just not published ones, this started last night).

  I am accessing it on my laptop currently. I do use the app on my iPhone and iPad but I don’t usually write/edit posts through the app.

  Gotcha.
  If you go here:

  https://wordpress.com/posts/alyxwrites.blog

  Is there an Edit button to the bottom left of your individual posts at all?

  Let me know.

  Yeah, that’s how I figured out I couldn’t edit. I would click that edit, or I would go to my site and click the edit that is at the top. I would get into the post like I was about to edit it, but I can’t click into the post for my blinking cursor to even show up, not to mention, there is no “saved” that comes up. I can get into it like I’m about to edit it but I can’t actually edit it.

  Hi, @alyxwriter,

  Okay, so since I am not experiencing the same thing, can you please try another browser, or clear your cache to see if you have the same results.

  Let me know how that goes.

  Okay, I did that. It seems like it’s just one post doing it, I wonder if it’s because of the graphics I have in it… it’s the most recent one I published. I’m going to try to redo it later and see what happens.
