I need help with this too. Here’s my situation:
I had done 11 posts in my blog and everything was fine. When I tried to Write the 12th post and clicked “Publish”, like the user above, it returned a 404 message embedded within my site’s template.
After several weeks of not being able to figure it out, I copied all of my posts and UNINSTALLED WordPress (2.33). I reinstalled it.
I was able to post again. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11… when I tried to publish a 12th post, BOOM – the 404 error message started haunting me again. Now I have NO IDEA what to do and I’m sincerely hoping that someone here on the forums can take a few minutes to post their suggestion(s).
Thanks for helping me out.
OK, I want to update this as it may help someone figure out the problem.
I had been copying and pasting my 12th article from Word where I wrote it. So this time I tried typing in just the first sentence and the system published it fine. So I edited it and added a second sentence. No problem. So I was doing this a sentence at a time and when I put in the sixth sentence, it went to the 404 Page. So I rewrote the sixth sentence and it published fine. I then copied and pasted the rest of the article from my Word document and it published fine.
Any idea what would cause that? Here is the sixth sentence:
“In 1992 Santa Fe was just a write-in candidate but received enough votes from the magazine’s readers to be chosen the number one travel destination in the world.”
Can someone place that sentence above into a post and try to publish it and see if it returns a 404 error message? It would be nice to narrow down what the cause of all this is.
