Will not save,publish or draft my posts
-
For the past two weeks I have not been able to save a post, publish a post, or save to drafts. The green line gets all the way to the end of the line but a few seconds from completing the process it stalls and sits there. I have a mac and everything is up to date. If I use my work computer it works just fine. I could really use any sort of help because I need to get my posts out in a timely manner!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Timethief provided a good run-down of items that might help to clear this up. First, could you try another browser? Firefox or Chrome tend to work best.
I’m also curious if the issue is only occurring from the new editor or if it’s happening in the classic editor as well. Could you try editing a link from here?

If you’re sent to the new editor, you can use the link shown here to go to the classic editor:
The green line you mention seems to indicate you’re using the new editor.

Hello, When I just went to test all the theories you guys gave me, I decided to try it one more time and it worked! Posting,saving and scheduling all worked. Maybe it fixed itself?! If I have any more problems I will come back to this though. Thank you for all yur help!
