Hi All, So I still have not got a solution to this.

I have now got a test system running on a VM on my Local PC.

Its setup is the same as defined in the initial post.

I have now cleared all plugins and all pages from my setup. If I load the site I get my Hello World standard post and the new one I created called test.

I have changed the permalink to postID and it works but if you change it to pastname it breaks and returns a 404.

I have carried out the following today

1. Updated apache config AllowOverride from None -> All

2. Deleted my .htaccess file and recreated it via WordPress by changing between Permalink types.

3. If editing a post in wp-admin and you click on the Preview button or the preview link you get two different outcomes.
a) Preview Button – This just goes to the preview page and the WordPress logo just shimmers. No preview is delivered.
b) Preview link – If I click on the preview link which has the post format I want – https://192.168.1.179/wordpress/test/ – it returns a 404. Pressing the back arrow in the browser brings you back to the posts page and shows an “Updating failed” message.

4. I am using the TwentyNinteen theme but having been through multiple themes I get the same error everywhere.

I have upped the memory on my VM from 512MB to 1GB as suggested for the previewing A error but that did not fix the issue.

I have now read multiple posts on fixing this 404 error and I can safely say it is not the standard error. Simply switching between permalink types does not fix the error.

Just to re-iterate I have deactivated and removed all plugins from my wordpress install and I still get this issue.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Damm, I was so hoping i had forgotten that. But nope. mod_rewrite is on

# a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled

Anything else?

Regards

Tom
