# post.php is missing/broken

 * Everytime I update a page in the admin dashboard I am redirected towards a black
   page. The url looks like this:
    [http://localhost:8888/MyWebsite/wp-admin/post.php](http://localhost:8888/MyWebsite/wp-admin/post.php)
 * A quick assumption would be that I’m missing post.php page in my admin directory
   somewhere.
 * New to WP so I’m a little green.
    Thanks for the help.

 * I’ve noticed this is happening now whenever I update any post or page in the 
   admin.

 * Try re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from
   a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of
   files & folder before uploading the new ones.

 * Just tried that, literally, 10 minutes ago. Maybe something to do with my localhost.
   Getting the same issue on the new install.
 * What files – outside wp-content – would effect this?

 * Plugins, theme…
 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
