  All of a sudden when I go to write a post, the ‘page’ turns from white to black! It looks normal & white initially, but once I type in the title & click ’embed’ then the remainder of the post is black. The text is black, which makes it hard to read. However, if I click on ‘preview’ everything looks normal: black text on white background. Any idea what might be going on???

  Any chance it could be a Safari issue? When I tested it out on Chrome it seems to not be an issue. But it still begs the question…why all of a sudden is this happening?

  Hi there!

  You are correct that this is an issue with Safari. It has already been reported, and our developers are working on it. You can see all the updates here:

  In the meantime, we recommend using a different browser to work on your site.

  I am having the same problem and came here looking for an answer. I tried switching themes and it doesn’t help. I will try switching web browsers now.
