• Hello,

    I’m using the Sela theme over at https://www.postcardsfromablonde.com and I cannot get the preview post option to work. Instead, I get:

    OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND.

    It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try one of the links below or a search?

    I read that I need to update my .htaccess. So, I went to my server (iPage) and updated the .htaccess folder to

    # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/json
    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
    # DEFLATE by extension
    AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css htm html xml
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    But it’s still not working.

    I do not know much about coding (read: nothing) or html (also next to nothing). So I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I just want to preview the post so I can begin to schedule them.

    Thanks for your help!

  • Hi there,

    Are you previewing your posts via Appearance > Customize or via the Preview button on the post’s editor itself?

    Some good initial troubleshooting steps for issues like these are:

    • Deactivate all of your plugins. If you’re able to preview posts after that, enable them one by one to pinpoint the problematic plugin.
    • Switch to a different theme (One of the default themes, like Twenty Sixteen, is a good option to see if the issue’s still apparent then.

    Let me know how you get on with that. We can troubleshoot further if neither of the above steps help.
