A Problem with WordPress: Workaround

Posted on 05/22/2019 by margrad80

The other day I logged on to WordPress and went to the My Site page. Going down to post, I clicked on Drafts. This drew up the list of unfinished post. I really should kill some of them, as I don’t think I am going to be going back to them.

This is the screen where I normally access my draft posts.

I clicked on the post I wanted to finish and the page wouldn’t load.

After clicking on the post I wanted to edit, I had this screen for a while
After I while, I got this message. This is still happening as of May 22, 2019, as you can see by the fact I was able to do the screenshots today.

I ran though all the things you think of at a time like that, but nothing worked. I decided that it must be an issue with the WordPress servers, and checked the next day, and the next, and the next.

I googled to see if there were a thread about the issue running around the internet. Again nothing. Finally today, after having been off of blogging for ten days, I started poking around WordPress looking for a feedback and bug reporting area. Before finding that (I still don’t know where it is, if there is one.) I found that if I went to WP Admin at the bottom left-hand side of the My Site page, that it brings up The page below.

Clicking on the stick pin icon, pops out the menu below.

Clicking on Posts, gives you a listing off all your posts including Drafts.

By clicking on the title of my post, I was able to access a normal editing page for the post. I used this to finish and publish. Going back I tried to go into a Draft in the manner I was accustomed to, still with not success.

Maybe if I find out how to access the WordPress feedback, I can send them a link to this post. Until then, if you are having this problem this might help you continue with your blogging.

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
