  I still can’t post new posts. I tried from the dashboard and the main page. I received invalid requests on both. Luckily, I save my drafts in word.

  nicslandry, I made a slight change. Would you please try one more time and let me know if there’s any improvement?

  I have been unable to publish new blog posts as well. This has been going on for several days.

  nicslandry and lcenteno: you both posted on your blog since you commented in this thread. Is everything working for you now?

  alg0rhythm: could you try posting again to see if the system works for you as well?

  also receiving the “invalid request” response when trying to post my blog. I guess I should try to post it from a different route?

  I’ve tried two times to post to my blog and am also getting an invalid request message. I totally lost the last post I tried to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  @banjogrrldiaries
  There is no blog linked to your username. What is the URL starting with http:// ?

  supermomplus and banjogrrldiaries, do you have better luck if you post via Posts -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard?

  What could be the problem or solution if I am having a very similar problem though I’m not even getting an invalid request message? I can write out a post and save drafts and all but it just won’t recognize a click on the “publish” or “update” button.

  alexbks65, please try a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome: http://browsehappy.com/

  If that doesn’t help, please start your own thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/support#postform

  shipwrekkt, do you mean that you see “Invalid Request”? If not, please start your own thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/support#postform

  If so, do you have better luck if you post via Posts -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard?

  I’m having the same problem. I click publish post and get “Invalid Request.” What can be done about this? This is a very important post for myself and my brand new fiance.

  @redgrange
  Where is the URL starting with http:// for your blog please?
  Have you read through this thread and tried what Staff have posted into it?

  Okay, for those who are having problems, I selected the entire post and opened up a new Dashboard, and tried it there and it worked.
