 * Created a new post, saved it several times, but did not publish yet. Today I 
   went back through Dashboard>All Posts>Edit, and got a “wordpress ERROR 504 – 
   GATEWAY TIMEOUT”. Using Firefox.
    Quick Edit and Preview works, but Edit gives
   the error. I can Edit all of the other posts, including ones that were started
   more recently than the one in question, and ones published before starting it.
   Tried reloading WP, clearing cache, but nothing works. Tried starting WP in cognito
   mode (using FireFox) and I had no trouble editing the post. So i completed the
   edits, and published, hoping this would reset something. It did not. The post
   is published, and editing works fine in cognito mode, but I still can’t edit 
   in my main browser.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-error-504-gateway-timeout%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * – 504 error is likely a server related issue.
    – Therefore, ask your host why
   the 504 is occurring. – Your error_log file may also explain it. So please check
   the error logs on your server. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting
   provider to help you with that.

 * Based on the error, it looks like your WordPress site sends requests to another
   server when a post is edited and this action times out.
 * You can try to turn the WordPress debug on and then edit the post in question(
   [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)).
   This might show PHP errors that might describe what causes the problem.
 * Please feel free to share the PHP errors here so we can assist you with.
 * When you finish testing, please turn the WordPress debug mode off.
