  Yes, it seems that I am having trouble editing older posts. On the newer posts it appears that the words to my blog come up in the editing interface and I can manage them as I please. With the older posts, when I go to edit them, just the title come ups (but not the undying paragraphs or blocks of writing) and the blocks say something along the ‘this block is having an error uploading.’ What can I do about this. How do I retrieve the words on the page and how can I go about editing these older blogs. Is it possible that maybe I need to purchase a ‘Premium’ package?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi @newmusicalreleases, you probably don’t need premium to address this. Can you tell us the names of a few affected posts so we can see what you’re seeing?

  Hi, thanks for your prompt response. To name a few:

  1) “Lana Del Ray – Norman Fucking Rockwell” (https://wordpress.com/post/meveda.wordpress.com/13200)

  2) “MADEON – GOOD FAITH” (https://wordpress.com/post/meveda.wordpress.com/13538).

  These are links to the edit side of the post wherein the warning: “This block has received an error and can’t be previewed.”

  Please let me know what can be done so the content can be uploaded so I can edit them.

  Thanks.

  Hi @newmusicalreleases

  I’ve checked both of those links and for me they load as expected. I’m wondering if there is something specific to your computer that is causing issues.

  With this in mind, instead of logging in to your WordPress.com account via Safari, can you try an alternate browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox instead. if you log into your account in a different browser, then try to edit these pages, do you see the same error message?

  Thanks for the additional info!
