Unable to create or edit posts

  • Everything worked just fine until today.

    I am now unable to edit any of my posts, and it won’t allow me to create new ones.

    I can open up the editing page, make edits to the posts, but when I click “publish” or “update” (depending on whether it is new or old, obviously), it takes me to a “page not found” page. And when I go look at the supposedly updated post, none of my changes are there.

    I deactivated all my plugins (which are all still the same versions as they were last week when everything worked just fine). Still the same problem. I re-installed WordPress 3.9.1, but still no luck.

    A notice comes up on the top of the editor on one post I was trying to edit that says “The backup of this post in your browser is different from the version below. Restore the backup.” When I click “Restore the backup,” it puts the updated version in the editor window, but when I click “update,” it still brings up the page not found error.

    It also won’t let me “save draft”, as it goes to the “page not found” error.

    The only difference I can think of is that Firefox updated. And now I’m trying to figure out how to “downgrade” Firefox to the last version.

    Please help.

  • Then I can only guess that there was an issue in the content you added to the old database or the database itself was damaged before you exported it. Either way, it would seem that you cannot restore that old database backup. ??

    OK, here’s what I’ve done thus far, and I’ve now eliminated several possible problems.

    I copied/pasted all the posts and pages from my website to a MS Word document, and completely removed WordPress. Nothing remained of it at all.

    Afterwards, a brand-spanking new fresh install of WordPress was done. I have spent the last couple hours creating new posts (pasting them in from the aforementioned MS Word document). And now the problem that I started off with (unable to post new posts or edit old ones) has popped up again.

    And before you ask, here’s some of the facts:

    *I am using the default twenty-fourteen theme with ZERO modifications. Therefore, this proves it has nothing to do with the theme.

    *I have installed ZERO plugins. There is nothing but the WordPress install. Therefore, this proves it has nothing to do with the plugins.

    *This is a brand-new install of WordPress with a brand-new database, thus it proves it is not an issue with a corrupted database.

    It worked just fine until I pasted in an article (which, by the way, worked just fine when it was posted originally almost a month ago).

    The Website is https://www.TheCobbSix.com, and it is hosted by Doteasy.

    The only things included in any of the posts are text, links to other posts on the same website, and some featured images (hosted on the website itself).

    “error404 logged-in admin-bar masthead-fixed customize-support”

    That error shows up when using Firefox’s built in inspector.

    I can post a short post, with the title “Test” and the body of the post being “this is a test.”

    Is there some text that is somehow setting off problems? Is that even possible?

    And after more testing, I have discovered (at least on this one post) that I can post/edit half of the post, and it will work. I started adding a sentence at a time, and updating, and it worked a couple times. But then I got to the words “So, if we forgive in word only,…” and it wouldn’t post, and I got the same error as before.

    This is extremely frustrating.

    I’ve cleared my browser cache as well (in case that were to be suggested). This same problem exists in Palemoon, and wasn’t an issue until the past couple days.

    Also have eliminated the possibility of the word count being too high (it stopped posting at 316 words, but others post just fine at 576 and above).

    Just to make sure it wasn’t some hidden formatting in the text I was pasting, I pasted it in plain text, and am still dealing with the same problem.

    This error just came up:

    TypeError: document.getElementById(…) is null

    And, just to be certain, I am receiving the exact same problem on these posts when using Google Chrome as the browser.

    It’s quiet out here…

    Thanks to those who’ve tried to help. Please bear with me, as I’m sure eventually we’ll get this figured out.

    Here is the text of one of the posts that will not go through completely. What you see in the box below is the maximum that it will accept. The next word in the post should be “each”. When I added that word (as a test) and hit “update,” it gave me the “page not found” error. But if I update without that word, then it works. All well and good, except it’s only half a post.

    Is there something in this (including the word “each”) that is causing some kind of error in wordpress?

    Almost everyone who has been driving very long has had this experience. Someone on the road in front of you is driving along with their turn signal on. For a few moments you prepare for him to slow down, because his turn must be coming up soon. But it doesn’t take you long to realize that the man in front of you has no intention of turning. He’s just left his turn signal on.

    He’s sending out a message through his forgetfulness: I may be signalling one way, but that isn’t really where I’m going.

    This is the way that more than a few Christians live their lives.

    They signal that they are going to heaven, but after a short time, others can see the truth.

    They signal that they are good, moral people, but those who look at them can see that’s not really the case.

    They signal that they are living out Christ in their lives, but anyone who looks very long sees that their mind isn’t on Jesus.

    I would wager to say that you see these turn-signal Christians frequently. They are the ones who assemble with the saints, but who are not engaged in worshiping God. They are the ones who text while in the pews. They are the ones who pay little to no attention to the lessons. Oh, but they are there! They are signaling “I am a Christian” by showing up, but their actions don’t match up with it.

    You may think I’m being unfair and harsh. Please read on.

    I fear that all of us become turn-signal Christians at one point or another–even if it is just for a short time. By that, I mean that there are times when

    i have same problem! cant upload media because it stop on crunching, cant create new pages or post or install plugin! everythings frezeed!
