Hey Hungry and Fit family,
This is an open letter to you apologizing for our lack of content recently and apologizing in advance for an upcoming continued lack of content.
Since August 2012, we’ve used WordPress’ services for our blog. There have been some ups and downs over the years but their recent update is rock bottom.
They tried to fix a system that was far from broken. As a result, their new system is broken. It looks fancier than the old user interface, but it doesn’t work.
We can’t upload images. We can’t tag our articles. We can’t categorize our articles. We can’t preview our articles. Sometimes, we can’t save or publish our articles.
I can’t find the button that controls the articles being published to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I can’t find the function to control emailing our new articles out to readers.
Not only that, but it takes me far longer to put together content since they introduced a new “block” system. I really don’t like it. I wish we could revert to the old WordPress, which functioned much better.
Companies care about look and not function nowadays. They are taking far too long to fix all of these bugs and despite claiming there have been two patches, we haven’t seen any progress.
There may be a lack of content for a bit, while we try to find a service to use for our many websites. That is a lot of work, so hopefully, they actually fix this mess that they’ve created.
Somewhere around 1,500 articles published with little to no issues until now…
Sincerely,
Hungry & Fit
I take all my pictures with my iPhone, and have had lots of issues uploading them. Paragraphs suddenly format themselves so you can’t add text. They are copying SquareSpace in the block idea. Good luck sorting out yur problems.
We usually use a nice Nikon for restaurant reviews and hikes, but I’m terrified to think of trying to upload those when it can’t even handle my iPhone photos. I reached out and they mentioned there is a plug-in to revert to the old style so I’m going to give that a go!
