    Hello,

    I updated to the latest version of WordPress, Genesis and plugins and since then I cannot add a new page or post in WP. I can start one, but after typing in the title, I am unable to type in the body box. I can go back and edit and type in the pages or posts I've already created.

    I am not convinced it is related to the upgrade, because I was also trying to add a portfolio page to the Darling theme using these instructions from elsewhere on this forum: http://wpsites.net/web-design/portfolio-page-template-for-genesis/ I followed all of the instructions up until adding the CSS code for a different theme. I discovered the problem when I tried to add the page.

    I have deleted the portfolio php file and deleted the code added to the theme functions page, but I am still experiencing the same problem.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Update:

    I deleted genesis 2.2.3 using FTP and reinstalled 2.2.2, and I am still having the same problem with not being able to create new pages or posts because I cannot type in the body box. I can do everything else in the page creation area, including saving, adding a featured image, etc. I am assuming that something I did when I tried to add a portfolio page is the issue, but I am not sure.

    Update:

    I'm probably just talking to myself here, but I was able to fix the issue by uninstalling the update, reinstalling the old Genesis, and then upgrading it again to the latest Genesis. I cleared my cache and it works fine. I doubt that the problem was caused by the Genesis upgrade at all, and is probably due to a plugin or the code changes I made.
