    Wordpress Version 5.2.2

    Explanation of Problem: I haven’t written a blog post in a while. I tried to do that during this weekend. I am not able to post new articles on my blog. If I do a quick post, it overwrites an existing article.

    Tested in Chrome and Firefox and Safari
    I’m on DreamHost

    Steps I took to resolve the problem:
    1) Turned off all plugins from here ( https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-5-0-master-list/ ).
    RESULT: ADD NEW POST only shows ADD TITLE, no place to add body text, a permalink that reads ?preview=true, Discussion and Comments but that’s it.

    2) Switched to 2019 theme
    RESULT: same problem

    3) Got rid of .htaccess
    RESULT: same problem

    4) Updated permalinks
    RESULT: Same problem

    5) Activating Plugins one-by one
    RESULT: If YOAST is on I and I try to ADD NEW POST, I get the message ‘The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.’

    6) Downgraded website to 5.0 from here https://wordpress.org/download/releases/
    RESULT: same problems

    7) Downgraded website to 4.8.8
    RESULT: same problems

    8) Manually upgraded to 5.2.2
    RESULT: same problems

    9) Edited SQL database with following queries:
    alter table `wp_posts` drop ID
    alter tablse `wp_posts` AUTO_INCREMENT = 1
    alter table `wp_posts` ADD ID int UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST
    RESULT: ADD NEW POST works but now, all the Images on the published website are not visible and every image in the MEDIA bucket are grey placeholders. I can open the urls for the images directly but they’re all gray in MEDIA. If I go to the article, it shows a spinning wheel for the featured images.

    10) Turned on plug to regenerate thumbnails
    RESULT: Images still gray and not viewable on the website

    11) Reverted SQL db to before the auto increment.
    RESULT: ADD NEW POST only shows ADD TITLE, no place to add body text, a permalink that reads ?preview=true, Discussion and Comments but that’s it.

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

    That’s a lie on rreynoso.com. It should be biblearchive.com
