  I am receiving the message ‘Given your current role, you can only link an image, you cannot upload’ whenever I try to add an Image Block to my latest blog post. There is seemingly no explanation for this and I cannot figure out what is going on. Adding images worked fine in January. I haven’t found a solution anywhere, but I’ve seen a few other WP bloggers refer to running into the same issue here in Feb 2019, so obviously something has gone wrong recently. Can anyone help me?

  Hi there,

  Yep, this is a bug, I’m afraid. I’ve added your case to the open bug report ticket which you can follow along with here: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/30453

  In the meantime, could you please try clearing your browser cache? If that doesn’t work, it’ll probably be best to try using a different browser: https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

  Apologies for the inconvenience with this. :)
