 * That’s pretty much it – the (Edit) link hangs, but eventually, after about a 
   couple of minutes, it redirects to the Dashboard. Same happens when clicking 
   on PUBLISH.
 * This page, for example: [http://www.32redpoker.com/blog/2013/07/16/expected-value-in-poker/](http://www.32redpoker.com/blog/2013/07/16/expected-value-in-poker/)
 * Any ideas?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Is it safe to ‘deactivate’ plugins? I mean, will everything be exactly the same
   once I ‘reactivate’ them? Or will deactivating plugins mess things up on my blog?

 * Yes – it should be perfectly safe.
