Title: Interface for Write Post has changed?? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Interface for Write Post has changed?? * Resolved [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/) * Hi there – I’m pretty new to WordPress (my site designer manages most stuff). But I recently found that the interface for the ‘Write Post’ page had changed * The user-friendly toolbar has now shifted to a series of html buttons or tags. I cannot find the various options, eg bullet points, linking to previous posts, etc and all but the obvious bolding and italics are totally foreign to me now. The main text-insertion box has also changed how it shows up, including all the html code etc. Previously, I always had that option to shift to that view, but now it seems to be there permanently and I cannot get the non-html toolbar/page back. * HELP! It is making my posting very challenging and flat as I cannot link anymore 🙁 * Thanks!

Scroll to the bottom and make sure that bottom- most checkbox is checked. * Thread Starter [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450186) * It wasn’t, but it is now. Still the same problem though. Does the system take a while to update my user options? * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450187) * It should be pretty much instantaneous… but you might force a hard- refresh by either flushing your browser cache or hitting ctrl-F5. * Thread Starter [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450191) * I flushed the cache, hit ctrl-F5, came all the way out of my browser and back in again. Problem still exists though the “use visual rich editor” box is still checked in the user profile. * UG! * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450194) * OK, so you want to be a challenge! * Few questions: * 1) What browser and OS are you using. Is this the same as what you were using when the editor displayed? * 2) Options -> Writing. Make sure “Users should use the visual rich editor by default” as well. It really shouldn’t matter… but can’t hurt at this point. * 3) Was your blog recently upgraded? Any plugins recently added? * Thread Starter [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450195) * hehehe I have been called a challenge before! hehehe * I use Firefox on Windows XP. I checked the box you mention in Option ->writing and yes, the blog was actually recently moved. It was an index page and now is not (incorporated into the site). I don’t think any plugins were added recently but I’d have to check with my site guy. * 🙂 N * Thread Starter [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450196) * a/ Is there something else I can try? b/ Is there something that may have caused this with the move? c/ What should I ask my web guy? * 🙂 N * Thread Starter [frickenfabulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frickenfabulous/) * (@frickenfabulous) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/interface-for-write-post-has-changed/#post-450212) * Hi Handy My web tech wonderful-guy managed to sort it all out today.
