Title: Problem with “write posts” editor Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Problem with “write posts” editor * Resolved [orchard_lincs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orchard_lincs/) * (@orchard_lincs) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-write-posts-editor/) * Please help, I’m just entering the 15th hour of trying to fix this. * As I write a new post, all seems well until an image of the front page appears to the right of the editor. After that the post cannot be saved or published. I have completely reinstalled WordPress 2.5.1 using Fantastico and manually installed 2.6. It happens in IE and Firefox and I’ve tried 3 different computers. * It usually takes a minute or two before the prob appears – see for yourself- * [http://www.4rts.co.uk/wp-admin](http://www.4rts.co.uk/wp-admin) User: admin Pass: ******** * **[pw moderated – NEVER post passwords in a public forum!]** Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [216cro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/216cro/) * (@216cro) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-write-posts-editor/#post-864191) * Do we all have the podpress plugin installed? * I went through disactivating/activating my plugins, including podpress and when podpress was deactivated the ability to do a new post in IE7 returned. * Thread Starter [orchard_lincs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/orchard_lincs/) * (@orchard_lincs) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-write-posts-editor/#post-864208) * I haven’t added any plug-ins.
