# Cannot edit posts

 * I am new to wordpress (just transferred over from blogger) and I am getting so
   frustrated. I have been working on a post for the last week and everything was
   going fine until tonight when I went and made some final edits on it. I went 
   to go preview it and none of the edits seemed to save even after doing save draft.
   So, I went to publish it just to see and the edits didn’t save either. So I went
   to go edit it again and now I can’t even see the body of the text. I reverted
   back to a draft and STILL cannot see the body but when I do preview, the post
   is there (not the updated version obviously). After hitting my computer and swearing
   a few times, I tried changing the browser I am using from firefox to safari so
   see if that could be an issue but its still the same. I cannot advertise this
   post as it is, the grammar and format is sloppy. Please help, wordpress is getting
   me all sorts of confused.
 * Thanks:(
 * Oh, website is [http://www.TheBrookeBook.com](http://www.TheBrookeBook.com). 
   Post I am talking about is the top, most recent post.

 * Start by deactivating all plugins to see if any are causing that. IF that doesn’t
   fix it, leave them off, and switch to a default theme (twentyfourteen) to see
   if it’s a problem with your theme.

 * Okay, I just deactivated all of my plug-ins and switched the theme to twentyfourteen
   and I still can’t see my post. 🙁

 * Can you try making a new post – just to see if it behaves badly too.
