    While in Admin, I attempted to make a simple edit and received the following error message:

    Bad Request

    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at articleworld-usa.com Port 80

    Here are the steps I took to receice the above error;
    Edit Post –> Pressed Edit button –> Made Edits –> Pressed Save –> Clicked Save –> (it seemed to save) –> Clicked View Post –> Received the error message.

    When I revised the area, no changes were made. Can any one assist me with a possible fix.

    Hi,

    Add this code in htaccess of your blog/site and have a check:

    # BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

    If these does not work then disable all the plugins and have a check.

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    Thanks for the information. I’ll add the code to the htaccess file and give it a try.

    One other question, you may be able to help me with. How do you disable or delete Gears?

    I tried copying your code to the .htaccess file with no improvement. I then deactivated all widgets. again no luck. Finally I deleted all widgets, again no luck. Could it be Gears? If so, how does one delete it?

    My site is http://articleworld-usa.com/blog/

    Any ideas?

    Shane;
    Here is a copy of my .htaccess file. Does it look ok?

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /BLOG/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /BLOG/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Maybe something to do with the use of capital letters in the URL?

    http://articleworld-usa.com/blog/ gives a 404 for me, whereas http://articleworld-usa.com/BLOG/ seems to work just fine.

    I’d change it all to lower case (rename the directory, change the .htaccess etc) and see how you get on.

    I made the change from upper to lower case for the directory name (BLOG to blog)and ensured the .htaccess file was correct. When I entered my username and password, it could not locate the blog.

    I changed it back to uppercase and it found the blog ok, So that leaves me with the same problem.
