"Invalid Request"

  1. mesocuny

    I'm having troubles with my posts. Anytime on my blog that I click on one I get an "invalid request" page. Does it have something to do with my settings? I've tried checking it on multiple browsers and computers and am having the same issue.

    The blog I need help with is mesocuny.wordpress.com.

    There's a wide-spread issue evidenced by the multiple active threads on the front page of this forum and beyond all reporting the same issue for the last 24 hours. All have been flagged for Staff attention and they have responded. See here > http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/all-my-links-point-to-the-signup-page-1?replies=95

    Thanks for the prompt response.

    We identified and corrected the issue yesterday, but all affected blogs needed to be fixed individually.

    Unfortunately, the script running to fix all of the affected blogs failed about half-way through.

    We are already aware of all affected blogs, so if yours has not been fixed yet, it will be in a few hours.

    Hi drnaz,

    We resolved the issue some time ago, and I do see several new posst on your blog from Aug 5 (after you made your forum post).

    Are you still having trouble publishing new posts?

    My blogs - whenever I try to post to them say invalid request.
    Should I leave my blog links here? They're all set to private.

    There's no need to post the URLs to private blogs if they are all registered under the same username as Staff can locate them easily. If they are not registered under the same username then you can provide the other ussername(s).

    Oh ok. Thanks very much. I didn't want to post them - they're personal.

    Me too. Haven't blogged in a while and now I can't seem to get my post up and running!

    PPS: Just lost my post. Couldn't find a place to save the draft and clicked the wrong thing and wham! gone! I'd swear, but I know that's against the rules and not very nice.

    Update: I used the main page for posting my post (like under Dashboard, Store, etc.) and had no trouble posting. Thank goodness! The first time around today I just pressed New Post in the New Post, Reader, Notifications, Stats, My Blog, Freshly Pressed tab menu. Won't be doing that again anytime soon!

    Do you have better luck if you post via Posts -> Add New in your blog's Dashboard?

    i will try that...worked from my phone (mobile) version of wordpress. Strange

    I still can't post new posts. I tried from the dashboard and the main page. I received invalid requests on both. Luckily, I save my drafts in word.

    nicslandry, I made a slight change. Would you please try one more time and let me know if there's any improvement?

    I have been unable to publish new blog posts as well. This has been going on for several days.

    ditto. posting blogs seems to be a pivotal part of wordpress functionality.

    nicslandry and lcenteno: you both posted on your blog since you commented in this thread. Is everything working for you now?

    alg0rhythm: could you try posting again to see if the system works for you as well?

    also receiving the "invalid request" response when trying to post my blog. I guess I should try to post it from a different route?

    I've tried two times to post to my blog and am also getting an invalid request message. I totally lost the last post I tried to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is no blog linked to your username. What is the URL starting with http:// ?
