Title: WordPress doesn't work Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # WordPress doesn't work * [davidabauer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidabauer/) * (@davidabauer) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/) * I”m sorry to say this, but I have installed wordpress 2 times, on 2 different sites, and I just can’t figure out a way to post anything on those sites. WordPress is supposed to be a blog, that let’s you post whatever you want to say, but I can’t find a post button anywhere. Maybe I have to install a plugin (whatever that is, I just don’t know what to do) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2277746) * See [Posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Posts).

Maybe I have to install a plugin (whatever > that is, I just don’t know what to do) * You have_ got _to be kidding… Not everything is point and click. Some things require at least a _minimum_ amount of effort on the operators part. * WordPress is not an iPod. Take some time to learn how to navigate and manipulate the features of your blog, and it will become a rewarding and fulfilling experience. I guarantee it * [First Steps With WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/First_Steps_With_WordPress) * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278123) * What davidabauer means is that the user dashboard doesn’t have any link to publish posts. Mine doesn’t have it either, and I don’t know how to make it work. Here is the page: [pirveli llc](http://www.pirveli-llc.com/?page_id=2), you may try, I’d appreciate. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278124) * Only registered users with Editor or Admin status can publish posts on your blog. * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278125) * Good. And how I make them able to register as such? I test-ran a couple of accounts, but cannot see any options available like Editor Status. Can I enable every user with Editor clearance from my main Admin? * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278126) * Maybe it needs a Plugin or something? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278127) * I would strongly advise against allowing people to register as Editors on your blog without some sort of moderation. * [fonglh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fonglh/) * (@fonglh) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278128) * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen) * Change “New User Default Role” * You can also change the role of existing users. * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278129) * Yeah, I get it now, thanks * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278130) * One more question: I installed a status updates plugin, and created status too, but cannot figure out how to create the status page so there would be a link to it as to any other page * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278131) * Nika1111 – Really you should make your own topic for this. What plugin? Can you link to it? We’re not going to troll through 50k plugins to find one 😉 * [Nika1111](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nika1111/) * (@nika1111) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-work-1/#post-2278132) * It’s Service Status by Mediaburst Ltd.
