  This seems to work more poorly than it used to. I keep getting error messages that say this: ‘Updating failed. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post.’ Why? Then it stops allowing me to work on my draft.
  I also can’t seem to get photos to upload. I know how to do it, but they never seem to finish loading. The little circle just spins. Why?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hey there! I’d try clearing the browser’s cache in the first instance and going from there:

  Thanks for the tip. I”ve done so, but, alas, no luck. Still the little wheel spins and the image appears dimly behind it.

  That’s annoying for sure. The next step I’d try would normally be to deactivate any plugins running on the site in case of a conflict and try posting again. If that works, you’d then enable them again, one at a time, until you find out which one was causing the conflict.

  Hi @patwalsh65

  I noticed you have quite a few sites on your account, this is an issue with all your sites, or with a specific one? If so, which one so we can take a closer look?

  Thanks for the additional info!
