I cannot upload new posts to my blog using the Android App.

Hi. I can create a blog post on my phone  - a mix of text and usually one photograph - but when I press 'publish', it gets stuck on 'Loading' - the wheel goes round & round, never ending. It used to work, but has been broken like this for a long time now.

I'm using Android 8.0.0, and a version of Weebly last updated on the 15th of November.

Thank you

Hi @JYS Sorry to hear you are having trouble with adding blog posts. When you create a post, do you save first or just post it once you are done editing? Does the edited post show up in the editor when you log in via browser instead of app? Can you please let us know site name and blog post title? Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. The website is johnswanson.co.uk. It has a drawing blog page. I just tried creating an entry, title 'This might be Charlie Chaplin - but then again, not'. No other text. I added a photo from my phone, and pressed the publish button at the top right of the screen. It says 'Loading', but it goes on endlessly. The post doesn't appear in the website editor when I log in from a laptop PC. 

Then I tried a different approach. Under 'options' I chose 'Publish immediately' and this time it worked - although the post title was missing - it had the date in it instead of what I'd typed.

So there's a work-around that almost works, but it's not great. Any ideas?

Are you using wifi or cellular data when you see the endless loading? If you switch from one to the other does it help?

[JYS]

I was using wifi.

I should say that the test post I put up a hour or so ago appeared with the title missing but I editied it on my laptop to correct it. I just did another post - from my phone - and you'll see the title got lost. It should have said 'The Royal Artillery Memorial', but just has the date instead. This post had a text box as well as a title and picture, and the upload worked. So that prompted another test. First, a new post with a title, and a photograph. That didn't load, so I added a text box and it loaded immediately. The title still doesn't appear on the blog, but there seems to be a problem with posting if there is no text box. This is the drawing of boats on the riverside.

In summary:

A post with a title and a picture won't load if I use the 'publish' button, but will load if I go via the options menu - but the title gets lost.

A post with a title, picture and a text box will upload if I use the publish button, but the title gets lost.

I didn't add the title box, by the way, I used the one offered as a prompt on a new blog.

Thanks

Hmm. Are you able to update to Android 9?

[JYS]

The phone doesn't offer it. Says latest updates have been installed.

Depending on your device you might need to go to your phone manufacturer's website in order to get an Android update; it's also possible that your device simply doesn't support Android 9, though.
