  Hello,

  I just created a new blog. I confirmed my e-mail address, and I got a message saying I can post now. When I try to make my first post, I get the error message “Oops! An error occurred while loading.
  User cannot edit posts.” I get this error whether I try to create a post with the button on the top right, or clicking on “blog posts add” after clicking on “My Sites.” I logged out, cleared the cache, logged back in, and I get the same error.

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

  Can you create a post by using this link?
  Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New

  I googled and found a direct link to use to get to the dashboard. Things work from there. I can’t get to the dashboard without typing in the URL.

  I have the same problem. Is there something I can do?

  @beenlooking4you I did not understand your second post. Could you elaborate on how you fixed this problem?

  It seems that the new mechanism for new/editing posts is broken. The only way to fix it is to force it to use the old mechanism by going to:

  or https://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
