  The documentation at

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  shows two rows of screen options, but I’m only seeing one row — and, in particular, I don’t see the “writing helper” option.

  Is there something else I need to configure?

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

  Never mind. I didn’t realize that the screen options were specific to the area of the dashboard. When I’m editing a post those extra options appear.

  Hi Nancy!

  I’m glad you figured this out. :) You’re right that the screen options you see differ depending on the area of WP Admin you’re viewing them in.

  If you have any other questions that we can help out with then please don’t hesitate to let us know.
