Why can't I insert pics and videos to my blog posts anymore?
-
I can no longer insert videos and pics into my blog posts- what have you done? I am absolutely gutted as I can no longer post properly. PLEASE HELP!!! Please answer my question.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How have you inserting your videos and pics? Drag and drop?
What web browser are you using?
-
I use Firefox. The issue isn’t the browser. Before the changes I could open my pics either on my laptop or in my gallery, click insert media and choose how to centre it. I could click on insert media and then choose a you tube link and insert the video code. All these functions are gone.

When you writing your post checked that you haven’t entered ‘Text’ mode by mistake.
Above the text area on the right are two tabs labelled ‘Visual’ and ‘Text’, make sure you’re using ‘Visual’ one.
The two tabs have different buttons editing your content. The ‘Text’ one only has tools for editing text, not for inserting media. -

I am rather surprised you asked me that when WordPress have completely changed the set up of the posting function. Just as I said- I type up a post and there is no way to insert pictures or videos into hem anymore. To give an example- I typed up a post and tried to insert a video from you tue- I went to insert media and it said it wasn’t allowed/supported. I ttyped up a post on my blog yesterday and went to insert media and nothing happened. Do you want some screen grabs as proof?

I’m having the same problem. When I try to upload pics it shows an x instead of the pic. However, if I click on it, it will show the downloaded pic. I’m afraid to add it to my post because I’m afraid that it wont work. Does it have something to do with the new Windows 10 upgrade?

How can I subscribe to it timethief? Spcountrygal -it’s nothing to do with a windows 10 upgrade as I have Linux as my operating system. I’ve been in touch with 2 other bloggers who said it is the same for them- they told me to create posts in the dashboard. If one clicks on the post icon the “new posting experience” comes up with all these problems. It is truly dismal.

Many bloggers have had issues re: the ongoing changes https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/11/16/new-high-speed-editor/ However, as this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editor-feedback?replies=578 is 578 posts in length and as the irrelevant sidebar tags are an abomination that do not help when it comes to finding solutions I no longer tell bloggers to post there.
