Hi, I am unable to publish a new story, nor can I preview it. When I press the Save and Preview or the Publish buttons, I am taken to a 404 error page. Why is this so ? I am using WordPress 2.1
Has it always been like this or did it just start happening? Have you made any recent changes or installed any new plugins?
Actually, I made a post. Then I wrote the second post and I wanted to preview it so I pressed on the Save and Continue button. All the article that I had written was lost when it went to the 404 page and I pressed the Back button. I need a solution very fast, cause I update my blog everyday and not updating it wouldn't be very good.
Oh, btw, all the other blogs I host on the same account are working fine. Most of the other blogs have the same plugins and stuff installed.
If it's just happened the one time your server may of been temporarily unavailable. If you are using WP2.1 it should save drafts automatically so you should still be able to retrieve them.
Is it still not working? This has happened to me sometimes and it was almost always because a file was missing from the folder or the permissions weren't set correctly. I use SmartFTP, and I think it sucks. It's caused many problems for me, you'd think I'd switch to a different program by now!
Its been happening since yesterday, and yes I am using WP2.1 but when it saves the draft, only the title is saved and not the body! Saving it is my last problem, posting it is my main problem now!
Did you try posting your question in the wordpress forum? Any time I've ever run into trouble, there was always someone there that knew what the hell I did wrong.
Try uploading your WordPress files again and updating to 2.11. I have seen some oddities with WP which a reinstall (just upload) and/or server reboot usually fix.
Ya, I'm backing up my files right now. I have posted it in the WordPress support forum - but I didnt even get 1 reply there!
Look, here's another user facing the same problem: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/107041?replies=5
Damnit, this problem has been driving me crazy the whole day - haven't been able to think, nor act properly. And whats worse, no help at the WP support forum. Things can't get worse!
