Title: posting and loading problems Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # posting and loading problems * [liltomrollsrazor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liltomrollsrazor/) * (@liltomrollsrazor) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-and-loading-problems/) * So a friend I met over a forum made me a website using wordpress and everything was running great for the first week or so. (I’ve had for about 2 weeks) Everything loaded quickly and i could quickly upload photos to my gallery and insert them into posts. Now when I log in and try to edit I first see all the coding in the visual tab and have to wait about 5mins for the visual sectiojn to load then when it loads i try to insert a picture at the bottom and it takes another 5- 10mins for the gallery to load and another 5 for the pictures to show and then when i click insert into post it acts as if it’s inserted but nothing appears there. It never used to do this and I don’t know why it does this. I have NO plugins whatsowever and my website is pretty bare only some text like 2 short videos and about 15pictures are on it so I know it’s not a bandwith problem or anything. Also the guyt who made the website hasn’t been on in a week so he can’t help me and I don’t know any scripting or codes for the most part so consider me a noob when you’re giving me any tips! please and thank you! Here’s the website by the way if you need it.

Delete the old wp-includes and wp-admin directories on your web host (through your FTP or shell access) * but im not sure how to do these last steps. can someone walk me through it? * 4. Using FTP or your shell access, upload the new wp-includes and wp-admin directories to your web host, overwriting old files. 5. Upload the individual files from the new wp-content folder to your existing wp-content folder, overwriting existing files. Do NOT delete your existing wp-content folder. Do NOT delete any files or folders in your existing wp-content directory (except for the one being overwritten by new files). 6. Upload all new loose files from the root directory of the new version to your existing wordpress root directory. * [jtlowe22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtlowe22/) * (@jtlowe22) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-and-loading-problems/#post-1874777) * 4. From the uncompressed .zip wordpress file you downloaded from wordpress.org, drag the wp-includes and wp-admin folders to filezilla to the directory where you just deleted the remote wp-admin and wp-includes from.
