 * I am having various issues with my blog and therefore I’m not able to do anything
   right now. Issues include:
 * 1. Not being able to edit posts.
    2. Not being able to write new posts. 3. Tool
   bar is missing. 4. Can’t switch between text and visual. 5. Add media button 
   doesn’t work. 6. Can’t view text.
 * Activating a new theme brings the same results

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
 * If neither of those make any difference, try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/)
   again, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace
   your copies of everything on the server **except** the wp-config.php file and
   the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.
 * Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget 
   to delete the original files before replacing them.
