As previously mentioned, the blogs required some updating of various things. One big update was to the WordPress version. It all seemed to work out well until, rather suddenly, whenever I’d go to create a new post all I got was a blank screen. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Completely empty.
Turns out the problem was the new “Gutenberg” editor. It is, frankly, a pain in the ass to use, and now it sorta crashes the program. Fortunately there is a “Classic Editor” plugin that restores the old, *simple* post editor, and clearly allows me to create posts again. So if you have a WordPress blog and encounter this problem, installing the “Classic Editor” may well be the fix.
Until the next issue comes along, anyway…
