# Cannot add a new post

 * After updating to 4.8.1 I cannot create new posts. I can create new pages, add
   media, change old posts and so on, but cannot create new posts. When I click 
   Add > Post (/wp-admin/new-post.php) I’m redirected to the main admin page – /
   wp-admin.
 * I disabled all plugins, restored an older database, re-updated WordPress, deleted
   cash, – nothing helped. The problem is still there. I tried to contact my hosting
   provider and they could not help me saying that I use CDN (CloudFlare) and it’s
   their problem. But it is not!
 * Can you please help me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-add-a-new-post%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello!
 * Have you also tried switching your current theme with a default one from WordPress(
   e.g. Twenty Seventeen) to see if that changes anything?
 * Make sure you create a full and proper backup before switching themes.
