  Hello. My newest post won’t get published and I’m not sure why. The notification reads ‘Publishing failed. Sorry, you are not allowed to assign the provided terms.’ I’m not sure what that means (am I swearing too much?). I hope you can help. Thanks, Kane

  Hi there,

  This is most likely a problem with cookies in your browser.

  Make sure you have any unsaved drafts backed up (just copy-paste to a text editor app like Notepad), and then delete WordPress.com cookies from your browser. Also clear the browser cache.

  This will log you out of your account, so log back in and try to publish again. Let us know if you’re still seeing that error.
