Can't write a post
-
When I access my dashboard and try to write a post, I can type in the title, but can’t write the body of the post. When I type, the cursor moves across the screen, but nothing appears? This is very new as I only posted two day ago – went to post today and couldnt’ type anything?
Any reason why this is happening? Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry yes, the account is the one linked to my user name
I have broadband
I don’t have HTTPS
Safari 10.3.9 – I can no longer upgrade this without changing the computer :(
Will see if I can try on another computer

Please let us know how you make out using another computer. I do expect that using another browser may solve your problem.

Hi thank you for the help. I have borrowed a computer from a friend, and can post OK on this one. Why would I be able to post from my computer one day, and then suddenly not the next. Everythign else on the dashboard seems to work on my old computer, just not the typing?

I can’t help with computer issues. You will have to contact a local computer technician.

Thanks – I was hoping that the problem might lie at the wordpress end as I have no problems with using the computer for anything else, all programs working perfectly normally etc – except the write post/edit post function on wordpress. If I click on edit post – even the existing post doesn’t show, and when I try to type nothing shows, and the visual/HTTP button doesn’t work. Apart from that it’s all normal :(
Guess I’m just getting out of date and need to think about a new computer :(
Thanks again

It’s obvious that I’m not alone in the Visual Mode inaccessibility. It stopped functioning for me as well at the same time that others report problems. And photo-editing — forget it, it stopped working too. Clearly a WP problem.
-
“There have been changes made to our Dashboards by Staff and you can read about then here > Drag & Drop Media Uploader & Flyout Dashboard Menus” — AH, therein lies the problem!!!
Please give us our Visual Mode Editor back, WP!!!!!!!!

Oh yes – forgot that bit – couldn’t edit pictures on either computer – had to go back to my pc, edit the pic there, and upload it again
