  We used to be able to click New Post and we were able to add a story quickly. Now when we click New Post it takes us to a generic post page (not in our theme) and it does not work most of the time. So to post, we now have to go through more steps: Go to dashboard, then Posts, and then add new post. Why was it changed?

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

  We were just used to doing it this way – On the blog, in top left side we moused over the blog name and saw Dashboard, New, Comments etc… we moused over New and went to Post and started writing

  When that changed, we had to click on Dashboard and then Posts and then Add New post.

  I’ve asked everyone to bookmark the post-new.php page.

  Thank you.
