  My post settings box has disappeared from my screen. When I go to add a post, it doesn’t appear, so I haven’t been able to set a feature image on the last few posts. It’s also difficult to even make the post. How do I get it back on my post screen?

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

  Hi there,

  The setting panel is probably just closed. Look in the top right corner, right next to your publish button. Do you see “Post Settings” with a little gear icon? Click on that and the setting panel will open for you.

  Hi,
  Thanks for your reply. There isn’t anything up in the right corner, not even the publish button.

  Hi hermanaallred,

  If you are using the wp-admin dashboard version of the editor you can go to the upper right and click screen options. This will open a panel that will let you choose what setting blocks you want to see.

  But as you are calling it “Post settings” I’m guessing @joyinco has the right answer. Just covering all bases.

  Interesting

  If none of that is showing you may want to clear your browser cache. Sometimes things on the browser can cause odd problems like that.

  If that doesn’t help let us know!

  Cheers!

  Does “Post Settings” not appear for you at the top right when editing a post, as shown in this video?

  The video might take a minute or two to load.

  How can I find the publish and/or update buttons when they’re gone from the screen?

  If you’re unable to see either the Post Settings or Update buttons that are visible in the screencast I made, please post a screenshot of that area in your post edit screen.

  Thanks for all of your responses. Sorry about creating a new thread. The problem is still not resolved. The “Post Settings Button” and the “Publish” or “Update” buttons are not appearing in the upper right hand screen. They have been there for past posts, but have not been there for the last few posts. Any other ideas?

  If you’re unable to see those items across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE/Edge), then please post a screenshot that shows how the top right-hand side of the post edit screen currently looks for you.

  Hi there,

  Try clearing your browser’s cache by following these instructions:

  Browser Issues

  If you’re still unable to view the “post settings” and/or the “Publish” button please take a screenshot of the “Add new post” page following the instructions provided by @garysixtyeight, so I can have a look at what’s going on.

  Thanks!

  @hermanaallred were you able to get a screenshot of this? We may be able to sort this out sooner if we can see what you see.
