Why won't it let me create a post?

  • Unknown's avatar

    It won’t let me create a new post. When I try, the “Add Media” button does nothing. It won’t let me add tags. I don’t get the option to “save a draft”. I lost the “Copy a post” option months ago, it just goes to add new post. It let me post yesterday, but now it won’t. Other buttons are not working as well. I just upgraded to Premium 3 weeks ago, and now I can’t post…

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

  • Never fear, we will figure this out.

    First off, Can you tell me what it says under “checking your browser” on this page:

    Preview Problems and Third-Party Cookies

    Secondly, Have you tried a different browser? And if so, does this happen with every browser?

    Unfortunately you replied to me after I left work for the day. I will return to work on Tuesday and be able to answer those questions. When I got home, I was able to post. My computer at home has the third party cookies disabled, I allowed cookies from wordpress. I will check to see if I am allowed to do that on my work computer.

    The copy a post option does not work on any computer I use. The function stopped working a couple months back. I have been ignoring it, but since I am talking to you, I thought I would bring it up.

    Thanks

  • Also, at work, what browser (and version) are you using? Could you try a different browser on your work computer if you get a chance?

    I am using internet explorer (ver. 9, I think). I work at a federal facility, so I don’t know if they will let me install other browsers, I can check next week.

  • I have heard we are having some issues with IE9 at the moment. I do know they are being worked on. So that might be the problem.

    Let me know when you find out when you get back to work.

    Enjoy the weekend!

    OK, back at work. My computer is set to block third party cookies. I added wordpress.com as allowed, and it seems to be working now. I still miss the “copy post” function, but the rest seems to be working, Thanks
