Editing Posts/Pages leads to 404

    This issue originally started as an issue with Contact Form 7.

    Site and plugins are not set to auto update and at some point, Contact Form 7 prevented me from editing post/pages so long as it was activated. Okay, not a big deal. I could temporarily deactivate it to edit posts/pages and activate it again when I was done.

    More time passes and now I can’t edit posts/pages at all regardless of the plugin being active or not. I’ve tried deactivating all other non-essential plugins as well without success. I’ve also tried updating all plugins, themes, WordPress, and PHP version, still with no success.

    How can I figure out what’s causing the issue and how can I fix it?

    This problem is likely a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to deactivate all plugins and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-Four theme. If the problem goes away, re-activate them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to deactivate all plugins and change the theme for you while you’re still logged in without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    Hi @mikeazdon,

    It sounds like a permalink or caching issue might be causing the 404 error when editing posts/pages. Here are a few steps that could help resolve it:

    • Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and simply click ‘Save Changes’ to refresh the permalink structure.
    • Clear your site’s cache (if using a caching plugin or CDN like Cloudflare).
    • Check your .htaccess file for any incorrect rules. You can rename it temporarily and let WordPress regenerate it.
    • If the issue persists, try enabling debug mode by adding define('WP_DEBUG', true); to your wp-config.php file to see if any specific errors appear.
