   Hi I am having a problem with my homepage going 404 page not found if i delete anything from within my blog...

   I just recently setup this blog with a new installation and everything seems to be working ok with the exception of the homepage. If i delete a post or a page from anywhere in the blog this happens.

   I had thought maybe it was my template or plugins doing this but i reverted to the default template and disabled all plugins and no change.

   Could someone please help me with this or is this a known bug in 2.7.1?

   Thanks,
   Brandon

   I have TEMPORARILY fixed it for mine. what i did, is i've gone into the wp-content/themes folder, and deleted the 404.php document (keeping a backup on my desktop once this bug is fixed obviously)

   Hey eRojas,
   I did what you did and that fixed the problem temporarily for me as well. This could be an annoying bug, hope they fix it quick.

   Thanks for the tip.

   Ok found that this is actually a problem with the Redirection plugin i was using. I made sure it was disabled and everything worked... So far havent found a resolution yet but i have just kept it disabled. If you are using any other form of redirection on your site this could be causing the same problem.

   Hi, I just had this same problem, too, and almost had a heart attack. I did find a resolution, though, beyond just disabling the plugin. Here's what you do:

   First, re-activate the plugin. (Homepage will go down again for a few seconds again while you perform this trick below.)

   Next, go into the Redirection plugin settings page under "Tools." At the top of the settings page, there's a link that says "Groups." Click that. In this "Groups" area, I found a strange entry setting up a redirect for my homepage. I just deleted that entry and my site is back to normal. (Well, after clearing the cache.)

   Glad somebody started this thread to set me on the path to find the resolution.

    I fixed the problem too by deleting the 404.php.

    Thought it was my fault, because I deleted a duplicated about us page.

    Thanks all!!
