  I’m unable to publish a new post at all!

  The publish button just says ‘updating’ and never does. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

  Hi @shestylesketchbook, sorry to hear this! Could you let us know which site you’re struggling with, and (if possible) the title of the post?

  Also, are you editing from https://wordpress.com/post or are you using wp-admin?

  Hi

  I was editing using wp-admin. The post name is “I’m selling my art!” When I click publish, it just says updating and never does. Please advise my next steps

  Kind regards,
  Gabrielle

  Hello there,

  It looks like http://www.illustratestyle.com/ is a self-hosted WordPress site , which is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You would need to reach out to your theme/plugin developers or the hosting provider for further assistance.

  You would access the posts via: http://www.illustratestyle.com/wp-admin/

  I hope this helps.
