 * I don’t know if this is a simple user error or not, but the ‘publish’ toggle 
   within my post edits will not toggle down so that I can update my posts. simply
   clicking on it does nothing, and I haven’t found any changes in the settings 
   that would otherwise hinder the use of the updating tool. if anyone has an idea
   as to what may be going on I’d really appreciate some help.
 * Thanks.

 * 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 Twenty Eleven 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.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * Thanks for the quick response! I started fidgeting with the plug-ins and you 
   were spot on. It turned out that only after I emptied the cache from an SEO Performance
   plug-in I was running, did the publishing tool toggle down once again. I’ll remember
   this for the future, although it was disconcerting at first.
 * Thanks for the help.
