I was helping a friend with a website. Every thing seem to work fine. I set up some demo content manually.
But today some thing wired happened. When we try to do a post it returns to a 404 not found page. The only thing we recorded doing are deleting posts and trying to add new posts.
Scenario: Post a Post
- Login
- Write a post
- 'Publish' ->
404
page @ route ->wp-admin/post.php
Scenario: Upload media
- Login
- Media -> new
- Drag/drop image
- HTTP Error (in red)
I tried:
- Disabling plugins
- Changing the theme
- Adding the following to .htaccess
BEGIN 404 Fix
SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off
END 404 Fix
But it didn't fix.
Just noticed, the same problem persists with another blog hosted in the same account. May be a host issue?
Updates: Old fashion upload : wp-admin/media-new.php (OK) Old fashion upload (POST) : wp-admin/media-new.php => 404
Page publish: wp-admin/post.php (GET => OK, POST => not ok - 404)
I think it is filtering out any attempt to post. But the odd thing is, any post gets saved ( as draft ).
