Cannot write or edit posts

    My wordpress blog will not allow me to edit or write posts. Everytime I go to the edit post page I am defaulted to the HTML tab (even though the visual tab is highlighted). I try to click on visual to change things up and that doesn’t work. All text in the HTML box is white and can only be seen if highlighted. I also can’t add tags or change the categories section to “most used” and when I click the “add photo” button it replaces the page with the upload screen rather than giving me the usual pop up window.

    This issue popped up on my Macbook Pro with google chrome, firefox and safari. This is also an issue on my school computers that have XP and Internet Explorer.

    The only computer I have been able to work with is my Windows 7 computer using Firefox.

    Anyone have some way to fix this issue. It’s an issue not being able to post, haha.

    Here is a picture of what I see when I try to edit the post:

    Notice the white columns on the side and the top of the page (arrows pointing to it). I’ve never seen that before I had this issue. Does that have something to do with this.

    I used Fantastico to update my WordPress database on my server’s end and that seems to have fixed the problem. I still don’t understand why this issue popped up at such a random time (I had the same WordPress configurations hours before I was suddenly unable to post), but the issue appears to be resolved.

    @thegameison – what exactly did you update? Suddenly the same thing is happening to me. Can’t edit a post, not even to correct a mis-spelling…. disabling plugins doesn’t change the problem a bit. Thanks

    Wow now my post is gone. Although it shows in my list of posts in admin, it returns 404 when you try to browse to the page. All I wanted to do was edit the post…

    I had the same exact issue as thegameison on July 4. WordPress was working fine for a while, then wouldn’t let me write or post using IE8 (Win7). What changed was the new version of WordPress (3.2) became available. That’s when the problem began.

    I’ve upgraded to the new version (3.2.1 now) and the problem is gone.
