Title: I'm having multiple problems with posting Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # I'm having multiple problems with posting * [openroadcruising](https://wordpress.org/support/users/openroadcruising/) * (@openroadcruising) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-having-multiple-problems-with-posting-help/) * I’m not a pro with code, so I don’t mess with it. I only have a few widgets and have only downloaded to plugins. * Problem #1: When I switch users and try to make a post under a different user, the bottom half of the tool bar is missing. I can’t even undo or redo an edit. * Problem #2: I’ve always copied and pasted my posts to facebook and never had a problem. Now the image I have set to be featured doesn’t show. Either the picture in the header shows or nothing at all. I tried to publicize it when I started having problems and that didn’t work either. At all. Nothing showed up. * Problem #3: This just happened within the last few minutes – The featured image won’t even show on the blog with the new posts. (I would share a link to show you, but I’ve taken them down since they look unprofessional and sloppy now) * The only thing that has changed is that wordpress updated itself. * I use this blog just for family and friends. I’ve never touched the code or anything. All this stuff just simply stopped working when it updated. My boyfriend and I are traveling across the country right now and posting as we go. This is a huge inconvenience. I paid for hosting so I wouldn’t have to worry about this stuff… 🙁 Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-having-multiple-problems-with-posting-help/#post-7501950) * Have you tried: * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. * – [resetting the plugins folder](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F) by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and wp- config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones. * > This is a huge inconvenience.

It didn’t have an effect either way. I had already had all of those plugins well before I started having problems so I wasn’t surprised there. * I guess it’s possibly the theme, but I’ve had it from the start. I also really don’t want to take down the whole site and start over. I don’t have time for that. I have access to the internet only a few hours a week as we travel. * I have no idea how to reset the plugin and have no idea what FTP and Php… is or how to go about using them properly. * I have no idea how to go about deleting folders (I didn’t even know there were folders) and don’t want to start since getting any help if I mess anything up is apparently impossible. * Maybe I’m on the wrong site for help. I have a site on wordpress.org not the free wordpress.com. Weird since this is where the help button brought me… * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-having-multiple-problems-with-posting-help/#post-7502320) * > I guess it’s possibly the theme, but I’ve had it from the start.

You need switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) **for just a moment** to rule out any theme- specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). * > I have no idea how to reset the plugin * Have a read of this codex article: [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F) * > no idea what FTP * Have a read of these codex articles: [http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla) * For further assistance on how to use FTP, you may also want to contact your hosting provider Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘I'm having multiple problems with posting’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [featured image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/featured-image/) * [Pictures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/pictures/) * [posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/posts/) * [WordPress update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wordpress-update/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 3 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * Last activity: [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/im-having-multiple-problems-with-posting-help/#post-7502320) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
