  Hi, first time user here! I’m trying to make my first blog post and I’m unable to save drafts or publish the final post. I have no idea why; does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

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

  Hi there,

  If it’s your first blog post, then I’d like to welcome you to WordPress :)

  Let’s check few things here –

  1) Have you verified your email address?

  2) Are you getting any error messages, if yes, please share them with us!

  3) It can be a browser issue, so try to open the page in a private/incognito mode or in a different browser and see if that works. OR clear your cache and try again –

  4) Try posting on this link –
  https://wordpress.com/post

  5) If nothing works, try this link –
  https://YOURSITE.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  Let us know if any of that works for you :)

  Thank you so much!

  I kept getting messages like ‘unable to save draft’ or ‘unable to publish post’. I closed out of my browser and just tried in a new window and it worked just fine! I’m not sure what the problem was but my post has been published! :)

  Awesome!! Don’t worry, it could be a glitch. But if ever run into any problem again, don’t hesitate to ask for help in the forums :)

  Good luck and happy blogging :D
