    I have made no changes to the blog since I installed it 4 months ago, been working fine until yesterday, now I can log in and type the posts out, then when I click publish or schedule, I get the 500 error with 400 error!

    I have contacted my hosting company with no response...any advice what to do? Or how to resolve this.

    PS I have checked the permissions and they are correct at 755. The .htaccess is also fine, it is below.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /news/
    RewriteRule ^(sitemap\.xml|sitemap\.xml\.gz)$ /news/wp-content/sitemaps/$1 [L]
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /news/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Any help is appreciated!

    500 error with 400 error? Either it's one or it's the other, not both.

    You will have to check the php error log for more info. If you do not have access, you can edit a wordpress file (config.php or whatever) and add this: 

    
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
    PHP:
    Then reload the page and it should show the error if it is php related. If it's apache related, it won't and you'll need to see the apache error logs.

    Also check with the webserver's error logs. Your webhosting interface should provide a link to it. The 500 error will usually drop an error in there.

    Might be some issue with your .htaccess or config.php, Upgrade your Wordpress version to the latest one and update the forum if something happens.

    You deleted your wordpress plugin but the error occurred from the .htaccess
    aslo remove these lines from .htaccess
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news/
RewriteRule ^(sitemap\.xml|sitemap\.xml\.gz)$ /news/wp-content/sitemaps/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
    PHP:

    Didn't you already delete the plugin?

    So deleting those lines in htaccess is fine.
