404 Error after edit -> Update Post

  • Hi everyone!

    I’ve had this problem, ever since I installed 2.7 RC1.
    Whenever I edit an existing post, save some tags, make some adjustments to the post, etc. And then click “Update Post”, I get a 404 not found error.

    I get redirected, after pressing “save” and the url generated is something like this:
    https://mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=934&_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php&message=1"

    This generates the 404. The post is there, I can view it in the list, and as a single post just fine. Any ideas as to what’s causing this?

    Thanks.

  • editing the .htaccess file didn’t work for me either

    You can try putting in the following code

    # BEGIN 404 Fix

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterPost Off
</IfModule>

# END 404 Fix

    instead of

    # BEGIN 404 Fix

<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv MODSEC_ENABLE Off
PassEnv MODSEC_ENABLE
</IfModule>

# END 404 Fix

    I stumbled across the same problem after moving to a host that uses Mod Security. In my case my post was triggering a SQL Injection attack warning so Mod Security was 404 redirecting the request.

    Mod Security was concerned because my post contained the word “select” followed by the word “from”. It did not seem to care that these words were 2 paragraphs apart?

    Has WordPress worked with Mod Security on this issue and do they have any recommendations? Is disabling Mod Security the best option. If so should it be done in the directory that WordPress is installed in or should it be done just in the /wp-admin directory? I would hope that WordPress does not have any SQL Injection vulnerabilities. If so is it safe to tell Mod Security to not worry about POSTS/GETS to /wp-admin/page.php

    Thanks for that, novada. Sheds a very clear light on the matter.

    Ok, Jo0lz, let’s do that then. Thanks.

    This is the solution that worked for me:

    Upload an .htaccess with the following 2 lines:

    SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

    This

    SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

    Works for me to !

    @ Jo0lz
    I’m facing exactly the same problem and applied the fix suggested by you but everything was in vain since I’m still getting 404 page on posting an article.

    SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

    It’s works for me…,thanks alot dude…
