Why can’t I edit
-
I am a writer for a site and should be able to edit other people’s articles from drafts. I can not click their articles or do anything, but my own writings. How do I fix this? I have tried logging in and out on 3 different computers and an iPad, I’ve cleared browser history and still nothing changes.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you talking about a site hosted at WordPress.com? Here there is no user role called “writer” . You’d need to be an editor: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

Hi there, Glad I refreshed. :)
Just adding that you can see your user role in the Role column on this page

I write for a site. I have EDITOR as a user. So this doesn’t help with the original problem

This is a WORDPRESS hosted site that I write on. I can not get the EDIT button to work. Meaning I cannot do my job of EDITING posts for said site.
-
What is the address of the site? Have you contacted the admin of the site to check nothing has been changed there?

twm.news
And yes, it is showing up fine on their end. I have done many, many things on MULTIPLE computers and tablets and still can only click on posts I have done to edit.

Please verify that you have cleared out your browser cache:
Let me know if that helps. If it does not we would love to see a screen shot of what you’re viewing. It will help us in determining the problem.

I’ve just had another look. The site you list does not use our service. It’s not using WordPress.com hosting environment. My best guess is that the site admin changed your user role with out notification.
In any case, you should probably ask them to have another look at your user role. Further help with using the WordPress.org installation will come from https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

Correct, it’s a self-hosted WordPress.org site, which we really can’t help with here.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

We know you’re referring to https://www.twm.news/
That is the one which is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, and we really can’t help with that here.
