 * Hi
 * I just upgraded to 3.0. I use Graph Paper Press modularity theme. Hosted by Earthlink.
 * If I click on ADD POST – it goes to a blank page
 * If I go to Quickpress – the text window and controls are missing
 * Only the Quickpress title exists and if I click on the drop down arrow, I get
   a sliver of a white line below the Title Bar….
 * All my plugins are off.
 * Ideas?

 * Also, I am unable to add any new pages.
 * So, cannot create any posts or add any pages

 * 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.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?
 * – increasing the available memory?

 * -deactivated all plugins
 * -reinstalled 3.0 – automatic
 * – tried default theme
 * – plugins all work & are upgraded
 * Don’t think it is a memory problem
 * Will ftp wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh DL !!

 * re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes files didnt fix it 🙁
 * I was hopeful.
 * I don’t get any error messages.
 * In fact, QuickPress says “Loading….” while he whole dashboard page is loading
   but then…after a few seconds, it fails. Instead of the QuickPress window for 
   text & controls, “loading…” disappears and all that there is – is a thin white
   line.
 * This is what the WP-Admin … admin-post.php code looks like
 * but maybe it is something else…
 * ‘<?php
    /** * WordPress Administration Generic POST Handler. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)
   WordPress * @subpackage Administration */
 * /** We are located in WordPress Administration Panels */
    define(‘WP_ADMIN’, 
   true);
 * if ( defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-load.php’); else require_once(‘../
   wp-load.php’);
 * require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/admin.php’);
 * nocache_headers();
 * do_action(‘admin_init’);
 * $action = ‘admin_post’;
 * if ( !wp_validate_auth_cookie() )
    $action .= ‘_nopriv’;
 * if ( !empty($_REQUEST[‘action’]) )
    $action .= ‘_’ . $_REQUEST[‘action’];
 * do_action($action); ‘

 * I reset the plugins folder
 * also checked the screen options menu on the dash – that was all set right.
 * I have this weird feeling it’s hanging cos of code somewhere…
 * to do with posting posts or pages.
 * posting comments seems to work !

 * Yes, I deactivated them before doing an automatic re-install of 3.0
    This DID
   resolve the issue I had uploading images into media, but not the issue I have
   creating new posts or pages.
 * and, yes….
 * I went to my plugins folder and renamed it plugins.hold and followed the rest
   of the steps to reset plugins.
 * No dice
 * The Quickpress “box” is the last thing to load on my dash….everything else loads
   ahead of it, while it says “loading” and then, after everything else in the 2
   columns, loads, about 4 seconds later – instead of loading – it just goes “poof”
   and all we see is the title QuickPress
 * At least this is isolated to simply creating NEW posts and pages. I can edit 
   the old ones, people can make comments, etc

 * Also it does it on 2 different blogs
 * both on the same host (earthlink) and both using Graph Paper Press Themes

 * [http://www.birdiebreeze.com/birdiepix](http://www.birdiebreeze.com/birdiepix)
 * They are both running 3.0 and everything works great except
 * no ability to post new pages or posts.

 * I am having the exact same problem with new pages and posts as birdie breeze.
   Earthlink is also the host. It looks like it could be a hosting issue. I’ve upgraded
   5 other sites without any issue. None were on Earthlink. Any thoughts?

 * yes !
 * I ftp’d the memory-bump into my content/plugins folder
 * did a reinstall
 * that didnt help with the post-new issue
 * it did bring back the issue when uploading new images to my media gallery, but
   resolved that by turning the plugins off and reinstalling and then activating
   the plugins.
 * I am too tired to call earthlink
 * Arnstein, stick with me!! Lets exchange email
 * you can email me at [birdie@birdiebreeze.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quickpress-and-add-post-not-loading/birdie@birdiebreeze.com?output_format=md)
 * I have an email address to an earthlink supervisor.
 * I will get ahold of them in the morning.
 * Thanks Esmi !!

 * hi esmi and arnstein,
 * There is a trouble ticket at earthlink on this issue. There was one there before
   I called. Perhaps from Arnstein. They have added me to the list and will contact
   me in 24-72 hours. They said the WP fix suggested was deactivating plugins pre-
   install.
 * 1. my plugins are up-to-date
    2. I deactivated them before doing installs and
   re-installs of 3.0 3. I did automatic and also later, manual installs as suggested
   by esmi 4. i deactivated plugins t my dashboard and another time, within my file
   manager
 * I have memory-bump installed now
 * no change
 * Waiting to hear back from earthlink
 * when I do, I will find this thread but also start a new one
 * have a great day
 * birdie
