Any type of formatting and I get 404 on saving or previewing

  • I’m having trouble with new posts – specifically when I try to save or preview, I get a 404 error but ONLY when the post has formatting in it. If I copy plain text and save, it works fine. I’ve tried flushing the permalinks and disabling a few plugins, but nothing else is working.

    Here’s the URL for draft preview (with no formatting): https://wecouldmakethat.com/?p=780&preview=true

    Any ideas?

  • Judging by the people that “fixed” this in the last couple of hours this seems to involve a new mod_security rule (on the host) throwing a fit when a < character is involved. Host removing said rule fixes the issue.

    Hi I am getting this issue too. Did not know it was because of formatting. Tried with plain text , it works. With html formatting, it goes to page not found. Any specific method to solve this?

    What is the mod_security rule about?

    Thank you!

    Grrr – hosting says that’s not it. Any other ideas?

    Having the same issue, and can’t find a fix either

    I have the same problem with the post. 404 error on preview or publish post ??
    Do you have a solution for the post? What should I ask those who host site?

    I solved the problem by talking to host. It was about mod_security rule.
