I finally tracked down the response from those WP “happiness engineers” yesterday. You know how tech support by email gives you fourteen steps to try, playing the odds that something they send will work? That’s where I was all day yesterday and it was…a lot. It was a whole dang lot.
Log out. Clear your browser history and cache. Lock down cookies. Try logging back into WordPress to create a post and…nope.
Open a private browsing window, log back into WordPress, and create a post then…nope.
Fun thing about those attempts right there: not only did WordPress not fix my classic editor issue, it wouldn’t even let me log back into my site. The blank screen just sat there staring at me like You wanna do what now? You wanna log IN? Oh no, baby, that’s not happening today.
Lawd.
Fast forward to steps nine and ten where I’m updating my operating system so I can update my browser so I can FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY get back into my blog. Neat fact: Updating the operating system takes upward of two hours so, y’know, that happened.
Long story kinda short, 10pm last night I was cranking this out on my phone waiting for the update to finish so I could see if I’d at least be able to log back into my laptop. I dunno, guys. Meditate for me, say a rosary, sacrifice a Twinkie, dance naked under the full moon. Whatever you do to get that good mojo flowing I’d seriously appreciate you sending some of it my way.
Riddle from the Middle 
The threat of me dancing naked should be enough to cause the Happiness Engineers to do something. I hope you have better luck with them than I’ve been having.

Ah yes, the magic of WordPress. The other day when I wanted to post, I tried going to the website. It let me go there. It let me select “new post”, at which point it took me to – a page that was blank. No options. Blank. I tried again. And again. And then I scurried about, located the wireless keyboard I can use with my iPad and did my post in the WordPress app that is on the iPad, but struggled mightily with getting photos in, because it seems the app gives me limited choices to select photos, none of which worked. But I overcame, with many words being uttered and lots of frustration. So now I read your post and I go to the WordPress website for my blog, and what do I get? Blank screen! I think this is not just your problem.

Nope, lots of us are getting hit. In the end their advice stuck — it was kind of a browser issue rooted in the fact that my browser was several editions old and my operating system itself was WAY out of date. After hours of working on the mess I’ve finally got WordPress back up and running. Everything else on my computer is unrecognizable and I’m having to redo the settings for ALL OF IT but c’est la vie! 😆

My naked under the full moon might hurt more than help. I’ll send good wishes instead.

Laura, right now, I have no access to my Block editor on any device. I am only posting by sending an email to my phone from Word (where I edit) and upload it into the Classic Editor on my phone. I do not have access to Classic on my laptop. Once published, I have no access to make changes. Keith

Just have a margarita under the full moon. Naked is optional. Eventually WP will function at a mostly normal level. Though it may not be anytime soon. Until then have another margarita. It is not your mojo lapsing. WP on the other hand just might have shaky mojo. Speaking of which not witch don’t sacrifice a chicken. Just break a few eggs for breakfast

I am 100% not picturing a chicken sacrifice because that sounds scary and a little sad. Maybe not fair to put it all on twinkies but considering they’d probably survive a nuclear blast I think they can take it. 😉
