creating new post not working

Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file just below the define('DB_HOST' line.

To do so, access your server via FTP or SFTP and edit the file with a plain text editor.

Have you tried re-installing WordPress (and, are you updated to the latest version)? It sounds like something is seriously broken in the core files.

If reinstalling hasn’t worked, I would try installing a default theme (Twenty Fourteen), and disabling all plugins. If it begins working, then you can start re-enabling plugins one-by-one until you find the culprit.

Actually, I think your site might have been hacked: https://blog.allisonreich.com/

There’s a link to a spam loan site up near your logo. I would install WordFence and scan the site, and then remove that link if possible.

Oh, ugh definitely. Nice catch!

Remain calm and carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures.

really? wow how come i dont see that on any of my computers?

I’m not sure why you don’t see it, but it’s definitely there: https://imgur.com/5SyNaZ3

wow dang! interesting! well i’ll go though it all. thanks for your help guys! oh and yes I have the latest version and have done manual installation, and done the plugin thing one by one.

just odd.

thanks so much guys

hmm added the define line in my config file… the buttons still seems disabled when i try to ‘insert media’ and all.. so weird. gonna look into the spam thing tho now. strange i cant even see it!!

My best guess is, it’s the hack. When whatever got in modified your files in whatever way it did, it was done in a way that broke some functionality too.

interesting. yeah i agree. AND now I do see the hack!!! in another browser. aha!!

Kill it with fire! ??

oh I will! With Dragons & sharks too!
probably end up re-doing it all anyway.. getting outdated ??

Ha, dragons and sharks, awesome! ??

Hey guys, did a fresh install and getting my theme back together. Was wondering if you can help me with something else…

to the right, along the right sidebar, are a bunch of post links, meta, etc. how do I get rid of this? cant seem to figure that out.

Go into Appearance > Widgets and remove the offending default widgets.
