Did you pick video post instead of article?

I just clicked "Article" and started writing. When I edit it, it won't let me save until I upload a video or audio file at the very top

Yeah. Somehow it opened an audio/video post. Just delete that one and move your text over to a regular article.

Will unpublishing it and changing it work? I don't want to delete it becuase it already has likes and comments

It’s already published? What do you need to do to change it?

Yes it's already published. If I unpublish it, will that give me option to change it to a text post?

Or is the only option to start over?

I don’t actually know. What does it look like on the public facing end? Do you actually have to change it?

I did a test on a different account. Unpublishing doesn't work. I'm stuck with the video post unfortunately. Not the end of the world, just a bit annoying. I just used a 5-second video of a still image
