If you’ve logged into blog.ryerson.ca lately, to edit your blog, you may have noticed a new announcement from the WordPress team about a new feature called ‘Gutenberg’.
2019 UPDATE: We will be upgrading to WordPress version 5.0 (with the Gutenberg block editor) on Friday, February 15, 2019.
Some blog.ryerson.ca users reported problems uploading images to their blog sites between April 6 and 13, 2017. We believe that the issue only impacted users who were posting from off-campus on Mac devices.
Our security team applied a fix on Thursday, April 13, which we believe has resolved this issue.
As usual, if you experience any problems using blog.ryerson.ca, please submit a report though the online form found on the Contact Us page.
Update on Friday, April 21: The change was successful, and blog.ryerson.ca was available to users again by 8:50 a.m.
blog.ryerson.ca will undergo an update on Friday, April 21, 2017 between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
blog.ryerson.ca users, and visitors to your sites, will not be able to access the blogs during this time.
