What happens if you try to preview the page from Edit Post?
The same thing, 404 not found
Can you edit the Post? If so, try cutting all of the text content (and place it in a text editor for safekeeping) and updating it.
I’m not sure how to do that, sorry…..you want me to copy the post and pace it in a text editor? How?
I copied and pasted it into a file, updated it, but still 404 error.
Set a static front page at
Settings → Reading
Via Edit Post. Highlight the text in the post content area, cut it and then paste into something like Notepad on your computer.
I copied and pasted it
No! The point of the exercise is to remove all post text except the title.
ok so blank page except for post title, still getting a 404 not found……
OK – so try changing the page title. Use something like “Wibble”.
changed to wibble. 404 not found
Dangit! I was hoping that it was a server security issue whereby a word, or phrase, in the post was being blocked. What happens if you try to recreate the Post?
Same. 404….very frustrating
What if I delete the whole post, and start over, create a new post and name it something else?
