# edit page not working!?!

 * I am trying to edit a page in WP 2.5. Everything else seems to be working fine,
   all plugins are updated, none which are said not to work with 2.5.
 * I edit the page, click save, then an error page loads.
 * I go back in. Sometimes I can see the edits in the edit window, I just can’t 
   get them to load.
 * Other times they are no longer there when I get back in the edit window.

 * Which Error appears?
    You create a new page or edit an old one?

 * Editing an old one.
 * I edit, I hit “save” and then I am directed to a 404 page. (After save, it loads/
   wp-admin/page.php (that’s the URL that shows, but it’s the 404 page).
 * Just to complicate things, SOMETIMES it lets me make a change, other times not.
   It does not matter whether I use visual editor or HTML, or whether I have other
   tabs open to the page or not.

 * Hi, I had almost the same problem with 2.3, upgraded to 2.5 but the problem still
   remains.
 * My blog is in the /blog directory of my website, when I try to write a post (
   or modify an old one) and click on “publish”, I see my homepage (located in the
   root / directory) without any WordPress message, and the blog doesn’t change.
 * I see that MySQL (v5.0.45) is working fine and my WP user has all the privileges(!).
   I didn’t change any configuration file, it just happened two days ago and I couldn’t
   find anything useful on the web.
 * Thank you

 * Edit: another thing I noticed is that, once I wrote a post, the preview button
   only shows the title and not the content. I usually write in the “visual” mode,
   so HTML is automatically generated. Could my WP be unable to cope with certain
   tags?
