• Hey guys,

    I have recently ran into the oddest error I have ever seen and its got me stumped, I think I may be losing it.

    I created a site, 40 odd pages, no problems everything running fine. I started to input the content to the pages (now this only happened on one page), when I copied the information across and tried to update or preview the page I got an error message, page not found (the 404 page). Thinking it was a problem with the page I deleted and created it again, still the same problem. After investigating, I was able to save any else I copied into the page just not the original content for the page (this was all normal text, no code, nothing complex, just text) I ended up able to copy it in section by section until I narrowed it down to one line. If I left it out it saved/worked no problem if it put it in I got an error and it wouldn’t save.

    I don’t know what the problem is, it’s just a normal line of text and it screws the entire page.

    Any ideas????

    Can you post the text that you were trying to include here?

    Sure,

    We show you how to create 150 outfits from only 12 items....Yes it can be done!!

    like I said just a normal line of text, nothing special. I have since tried copying the content to another page I had set-up which was working and the error happened, so it cant be the page. I even opened the word document in notepad to remove any possible code that was transferring over, error still occurred, but if I delete the above line it all works.

    Color me stumped. I have no clue how that line could be causing the problem.

    I recommend that you avoid using that line in the future, simply because there’s absolutely nothing else that I can recommend.

    I know its mind boggling isn’t it…

    It’s not the text. I’ve seen numerous reports of specific words or phrases causing problems but, so far, none of them come close to being proven. Common, proven, causes include:

    – plugin problems
    – theme problems
    – pasting content in from other applications
    – memory issues.

    esmi,

    I was thinking it was something along those lines but I have tried coping it from different programs and even retyping the whole section, it’s happened on multiple computers so it probably isn’t a memory thing. There is only one plug-in active and I added after this problem occurred and I have validated my theme code.

    It must just be one of problems that has some how fallen through the cracks.

    By “available memory”, I meant the memory available to WordPress on your server.
