 * Hiya. I have been trying to edit posts for this site. I log in, get to dashboard,
   click posts, click drafts and then I can’t do anything. I click drop down menu
   to change from bulk action to edit, click apply and nothing happens.
 * I’ve cleared out my cookies and browser history, updated software, but still 
   nothing. Admin said my profile should let me edit posts from dashboard. So I 
   really am stuck. Any help?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcant-edit-posts-11%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * I had this problem – check your error logs – I needed to increase the memory 
   and now everything works again!
