I’m having a similar error.

I am trying to update a link’s URL, but after clicking ‘Update Link’, I get a 404. I’m not trying to change the category, just the URL.

I have reuploaded all WordPress files from a fresh download from the site, as suggested above, so I know every file I need exists in my installation, but it’s still giving me 404.

Help?!

Make sure that you have both parts of the code changed.

So, for example:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

becomes:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title('-image-'); ?>"><?php the_title('-image-'); ?></a>

Notice how there are two instances of
the_title();

Could you please explain further? I’m not sure I quite understand. I stated that I’ve received emails from outside entities advertising drugs and so forth via pages on my site. As far as I know, I’m not linking from any posts or pages from other posts.

For example, here’s a copy of an email I received when I got a new comment (I have put asterisks in the URLs of the links so no trackbacking can be done):

Try this quick fix my friend found.

Go to wp-includes/autosave-js.php.

Find the line:

<?php echo apply_filters('autosave_interval', '120'); ?>);

and replace with:

<?php echo apply_filters('autosave_interval', '1200'); ?>);

Basically it means that WP is now waiting 1200 seconds before autosaving (so 20 mins, rather than 2). You can up that if you want, or lower it. It is, as I said, a quick fix, as it doesn’t disable the autosave, but it gives you a little more time to get a post written and published before autosave kicks in.
