# Cannot edit posts or pages

 * For some reason I cannot edit any of my posts or pages. I have tried in Firefox,
   IE, and Lynx, but all I get is a blank page when I try to bring up the edit screen.
 * I can access post-new.php but post.php and page.php do not work when I try to
   use the edit action. I can post entries, and I can delete entries, but I cannot
   edit them. (The same for pages.)
 * The rest of my WP installation is working fine, and this was fine until recently,
   so I have no idea what the issue is.

 * _and this was fine until recently_
 * What did you do recently? Add a plugin? Edit something?
 * Have you contacted your host to see if they’ve done something to the server?
 * Blank white pages are also usually a product of a PHP error – if you’re not seeing
   error messages then you have error reporting turned off. I’d suggest you turn
   it on (or check your error logs) and see what’s up…

 * Oh how embarrassing! It didn’t even occur to me that it might be a plugin. Thanks
   for mentioning that – as soon as you did I knew it was the [Kill Preview](http://www.jovelstefan.de/kill-preview/)
   plugin that I had added recently.
 * All is well now, thanks for the help!
