Cant add new page or post wordpress

Frustrating!

There could be several reasons why you're unable to add a new page or post in WordPress. Let's troubleshoot together:

  1. Check your permissions: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create new content. Go to Users > Your Profile and check if you have the "Editor" or "Administrator" role.
  2. Check for plugin conflicts: Sometimes, a plugin can interfere with the functionality of the WordPress dashboard. Try deactivating all plugins and then try to add a new page or post. If it works, reactivate the plugins one by one to identify the culprit.
  3. Check for theme issues: A theme can also cause issues with the WordPress dashboard. Try switching to a default theme like Twenty Nineteen or Twenty Twenty and see if you can add a new page or post.
  4. Check for database errors: Database errors can prevent you from adding new content. Check your WordPress error logs (usually found in the wp-content directory) for any database-related errors.
  5. Check for file system permissions: Make sure the file system permissions are set correctly. The WordPress files should have the correct permissions to write new files.
  6. Check for conflicts with other plugins or themes: Sometimes, a plugin or theme can conflict with another one, causing issues with adding new content. Try disabling all plugins and themes, and then re-enable them one by one to identify the conflict.
  7. Check for WordPress updates: Make sure you're running the latest version of WordPress. Updates often fix bugs and issues like this.
  8. Check for PHP errors: PHP errors can prevent you from adding new content. Check your PHP error logs (usually found in the wp-content directory) for any errors related to WordPress.
  9. Check for WordPress configuration issues: Sometimes, the WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) can become corrupted or outdated. Try renaming the file and then re-uploading it from the WordPress installation package.
  10. Contact your hosting provider: If none of the above steps work, it's possible that there's an issue with your hosting provider's configuration or server settings. Contact their support team for assistance.

If you're still having trouble, please provide more details about your WordPress setup, including the version, theme, and plugins you're using.
