Desktop Ap/Browser, using Browser returns "locked" pages.

  • charlzcoakley · Member ·

    I am having an issue on all my WP blogs. This is difficult to explain but I will do my best.

    Apparently, when the Desktop Ap has an update, pages become inaccessible in a browser. I say that because when the latest desktop ap for PCs was released I could not access any pages beyond the ‘exterior’ of my blog. e.g. Reader, Stats, New Posts…

    I noticed something yesterday when I was in the middle of making a post. I was trying to update an old post in one tab and make a new post in the other, strangely the tab in which I was trying to update a post, the screen was a huge blank except for a large WordPress icon.

    I didn’t give it much thought because I was able to make the new post and didn’t post much else yesterday. However, I had to update the old post by going in as WP Admin/Dashboard/Posts/Edit.

    Today, in my browser, which is up-to-date, as like then the new Desktop Ap for PCs was released, I cannot access any pages other than my dashboard. That is to say I cannot open the Reader, Stats, or make a New Post from the links on my blogs front page, they all lead to a blank page with a large WP logo.

    I tried to open the desktop ap, it was actually a little stubborn but finally opened and viola–there was a new update! I wasn’t too surprised, and like when I first installed it, figured the browser view would return to normal if I installed it, so I did.

    I was wrong, the browser view didn’t return to normal and I am still pulling up blank pages from the aforementioned links wiht a huge WP logo in the middle. However, this time, in the address bar, there is a distinct address inserted before my blogs address that reads:

    “WordPress.com (Automatic Inc) (US)”

    I do not understand.

    I have disabled and enabled add-ons, dumped my cache, everything that I know what to do, and the Reader, Stats, New Post, and who knows what other links on my blogs front page keep returning me to a blank page except for a large WP logo.

    What gives?

    Any help or explanation would be helpful, in fact, I had to take the long way around to get to this page that when I was at https://en.support.wordpress.com/ and clicked the “help” link beneath the avatars–I got the same blank page with the WP logo.

    So yeah, what gives?

    Thank you.

    Okay, it does have something to do with my browser (Firefox) and yet I cannot figure out what it is.

    I’m going to toss this up and maybe someone has an idea. I’m also going to make a post in the Mozilla forum.

    I have tried viewing the site in safe mode, but it makes no difference. I’ve dumped my cache, set my cookies to accept ‘all.’

    I have tried to retrace my steps, but nothing definite comes to mind except that yesterday I did have a normal view in one tab while this particular view in another and yet I cannot figure out what is causing the problem. The only thing truly different is that the desktop ap for pc had an update coming and i didn’t realize that until today.

    Nevertheless, the view is fine in IE. I didn’t check in Chrome, but I have an idea the problem is with Mozilla.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Well, apparently there is no way to upload a screenshot.

    Damn it.

    Sorry for being such a pain. Here is my post in the Mozilla forum.

    Hopefully you can access the/a screenshot of the blank page there.
