  The Write button on my dashboard brings up only a Write Post option. I need to edit one of my static Pages. How do I get to a Write Page option?

  You need to go to Dashboard > Manage > Pages; you should be able to edit your existing pages there. To create a new page, click Dashboard > Write and once it loads you can then click Write Page. Hope that helps.

  Neither of those suggestions worked for me. When I go to Dashboard > Manage > Pages, the only tabs that come up are Posts and Uploads — no place to edit or add to a page. When I go to Dashboard > Write, Write Post is my only option. Could this be a permission issue?

  Are you listed as a user on the blog or are you the admin? If you’re listed as an author on the blog then it would be a permission issue; I think authors can only write posts and they can’t edit pages. If it’s that you’d need the admin to make you an editor to be able to edit pages.

  If it’s not that, have you tried logging out and clearing your browser cache and cookies? That can help sometimes.
