  This comes up when I try to make a new post:

  “An error occurred while loading.
  That method is not allowed.
  “

  I can’t seem to create a draft, save a draft, or do anything. Anyone seen this before?

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

  Is the file type one that’s accepted?

  That’s very strange then.

  Please make sure you are running a browser version found here http://browsehappy.com or upgrade there please.

  Then would you like to try using the classic editor rather then the Beep Beep Boop editor to see if that makes a difference for you?

  You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and for viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New
  To create posts in the classic editor for you that link is

  http://privatejokershead.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php

  On the dashboard of your own blog at
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts one can hover over any post title and click the Edit link. and proceed with editing.

  http://privatejokershead.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.

  Try the classic editor please and then report back here.

  Thanks, that worked. Went to the classic mode and added new post, now it’s fine.

  Weird, though. The beep beep boop had always used to work.
