Publishing failed

Hello @macmanx (James),

As I noted in my original post:
I receive the error ‘Publishing failed’ when *all* plugins are disabled
I have installed the Classic Editor plugin and still get the error

I am not aware of anything else that would interfere with the REST API. I note also in the original post that Health Check displayed a REST API respons i.e. 404 so I assume the api is working???

Thanks for responding to my post

Cheers

@macmanx I have two WordPress sites on the same server. One works and the other doesn’t. And no, I don’t have modsecurity.

That all said, I think I’ve solved my problem. It looks like it was security related and that Wordfence made changes to htaccess
# Wordfence WAF
<IfModule LiteSpeed>
php_value auto_prepend_file ‘/home/orgchang/timpaul.com/wordfence-waf.php’
</IfModule>
<Files “.user.ini”>
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

# END Wordfence WAF

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

I’ve now rebuilt htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I can create posts and pages. I should mention, I still have the classic editor plugin enabled.

James, thanks for your help 🙂

@macmanx, it wasn’t a section, that was all that was in the htaccess file 🙂

Anyway, I’m going to mark this closed and resolved. Thanks again James.
