Cannot Edit Pages after update to 5.8

  • I recently upgraded to WordPress 5.8. It overwrote a .htaccess I use to redirect to a folder. I just changed it back and all seemed well.

    However, while the site works, I recently realised that I am totally unable to edit page now.

    If I attempt to edit, or if i click on the page to view it via the back end, it does nothing except eventually giving the following error.

    504 Gateway Time-out

    I suspect this is to do with my redirect, but am at a loss of how to fix it.

    This is my .htaccess I currently use.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?victoryliverpool.org.uk$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?victoryliverpool.org.uk$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /wordpress/index.php [L] 
</IfModule>

    I have disabled all plugins and switched themes, issue persists.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • is it working without the redirect rules?

    hah… why didn’t I think of that. Good call.

    Sadly, does the same without the redirect. But at least I can rule the redirect being the issue.

    Still waiting to hear back from my host.

    save your permalink structure twice

    also using any security configuration/plugin ? try debugging ( disable all plugins and switch to default theme )
