Unable to publish posts

    Hi there,

    I am having difficulty publishing any posts. I can save them as a draft but cannot publish. I have tried numerous different posts with and without images, but with no luck. I have cleared my cookies and caches to try and rectify it too.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    cheers!

    I’m having the same problem. I was told to try a different browser. I’m normally using Firefox 5.0 right now, I tried Windows Explorer and it didn’t work. So still in the same boat.

    Firefox 5.0

    Are you kidding? The most recent stable version of Firefox is Firefox 14.0.1 and you can upgrade you outdated browser version here http://browsehappy.com

    @tinasmigielski
    How you are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com? The way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

    Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

    Are you using IE9 in compatibility mode? if so then that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported.

    These are the troubleshooting steps we take whenever any issues like this arise:
    clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
    using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
    updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/
    confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416
    confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654
    confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    resetting your router and modem and rebooting your computer
    then logging in using the secure https:// log-in see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
    trying another browser

    grr sorry. I misread the user agent website… I was on Mozilla/5.0 Windows. My Firefox was updated I believe. I went ahead and updated it just in case. I also tried clearing cache and tracking cookies. I’ve also rebooted my computer and none of it seems to be working. I’m terribly sorry if I seem to be incompetent. :(

    Don’t apologize for actually trying to do some troubleshooting. Will you try logging in using the https:// secure log-in please? see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/
