# 404 error on saving or editing posts

 * I do not know what is causing this, but every time I save my post, I get an error
   message saying it is not found. It will redirect to: [http://lizzysgrandadventure.x10.mx/wp-admin/post.php](http://lizzysgrandadventure.x10.mx/wp-admin/post.php)
   rather than showing the post. I tried using a default theme (Twenty Fifteen),
   deactivating all plugins, both locally and through the network (multisite setup),
   and I tried shortening the post. If I do a post with no images on the default
   theme, it shows up…I also tried it on my current theme…Posts with no images and
   only a few words showed up, but posts that were longer than a 500 words won’t
   show up. I get the 404 error message. I’m also able to post flickr albums and
   the like using the flicker plugin on the shorter posts. So, the question is: 
   Is there a word count limit for posts and how do I find out what mine is set 
   at? I looked through the files but I’m rusty on php so I’m not sure.

 * I can do a debug thing but someone will have to walk me through it since I’ve
   not done that in wordpress before. Any help would be appreciated! I’ve been trying
   to post my newest entry for hours. Thank you in advance.

 * Hello, lizzy-gracemount, & welcome to the WordPress support forum. Firstly, please
   accept my sincerest thanks for providing an url–it’s really very helpful, &, 
   given what you’ve said, I suspect you know that already. Still, it doesn’t hurt
   to say thanks for doing that.
 * Let’s try this, if you would, please. Please open your wp-config.php file & there
   change wp-debug from false to true. At that point please log in & try to post
   a long 1–you can just write jibberish if you want–then try to save it. Please
   note any errors that come up & please paste those in your next response.
 * This is obviously a very insecure setting, so *please* disable it once you’re
   done.
 * There are a few other things that may prove helpful.
    1) Try looking in your 
   site’s folder and also in your web root for a file called error_log or error.
   log. If there are any recent entries, please post these. You may do so by enclosing
   them in  i.e.,
 *     ```
       this is entry 1.
       & this is entry 2.
       ```
   
 * 2) Look in your hosting provider’s control panel & see if they have an entry 
   called ‘Error Logs’. Some hosts don’t, but if they do, it can be very helpful.
 * 3) Lastly, please let us see your .htaccess file, if you have one, both for your
   root folder & for your site specifically.
 * I think that’s all we need for now.

 * Hi, thank you for the response. I tried to do what you listed, but couldn’t find
   any error.log or error_log. The only file that was close was in the softaculous
   folder and that was empty. I also looked on cPanel for the “Error logs” function,
   but didn’t find anything. I guess my server falls under the “don’t” category.
   lol
 * I had to copy/paste the preview url to see the error log for the post I was trying
   to see. It redirects to [http://lizzysgrandadventure.x10.mx/?p=1649&preview=true](http://lizzysgrandadventure.x10.mx/?p=1649&preview=true)
   for some reason and when I publish, it redirects to wp-admin link from my OP.
   For each test, I had enabled plugins again…The test posts posted (same wordcount,
   same slideshows, etc), but the RFL 2016 post refuses to post. I can’t find any
   error log files on my server, in either the server or the directory wordpress
   is in. The only file I found was in softaculous’ folder and it was empty. I also
   tested the slideshow in the lower word post, but there were no errors like above.

 * lizzy-gracemount, it seems pretty clear from those errors that your mobile friendly
   flickr slideshow plugin is the culprit here. Please try renaming that folder 
   by appending a 1 or a .old to the folder name, & then please try posting again&
   see where that takes us.
 * Thanks.

 * I was able to save a draft of the post after I removed the code for that plugin
   from the post and renaming the folder. Thank you! I was ripping my hair out trying
   to figure it out! I’ll find another way to display the gallery from Flickr…

 * Sure, marking it as resolved. I hope this helps others facing the same issues…
   Learning how to turn on debugging was a big help. Good day! 🙂
