 * Hi there,
 * I’m very new to WordPress and I am having some difficulty with posts. I have 
   upgraded to the latest version and now I cannot seem to post any content. I’ve
   written a post three times and added the media links and when I click publish
   it would not work. I then deactivated and reactivated the plugins and this allowed
   the post to e published…however, it wipes the entire thing clear!
 * So, a post that has text and media (Videos using URLs) gets posted with only 
   the title and no content AND it wipes anything on my dashboard so as all the 
   work I have done has gone with no way of recovering it!!
 * Any help is really appreciated!

 * You have a javascript error on your site that might be the cause:
 *  Syntax error, unrecognized expression: a[href=#scroll-top]
 * Update all plugins and make sure your theme is up to date, too.
 * For more information about this error, see

 * If everything is up to date, disable all plugins and change your theme to twentysixteen.
   When the problem goes away, restore them, one at a time, until you find the offender.

 * Thank you Sterndata! I am very new to all this stuff, so I will have to go through
   this slowly and methodically but hopefully this should do it…if not I may be 
   back!! But thank you so much!
