Creating new wordpress post showing page not found

The frustration of creating a new WordPress post only to see a "Page Not Found" error!

Here are some common reasons why this might happen and some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

Reasons why you might see a "Page Not Found" error:

  1. Incorrect URL: Make sure you're using the correct URL to create a new post. Check that you're in the correct section of your WordPress dashboard (e.g., Posts > Add New) and that you're not trying to create a new page instead of a post.
  2. Plugin conflict: A plugin might be interfering with the creation of new posts. Try deactivating all plugins and then reactivating them one by one to identify the culprit.
  3. Theme issue: Your theme might be causing the problem. Try switching to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Nineteen) to see if the issue persists.
  4. Permalink settings: Ensure that your permalink settings are correct. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Changes" to update the settings.
  5. Database issue: A database error might be causing the problem. Try resetting your database by going to Tools > Database > Reset Database (if available in your WordPress version).

Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the WordPress error log: Go to Tools > Error Log to see if there are any error messages related to the "Page Not Found" issue.
  2. Check the browser console: Open your browser's developer tools (F12) and check the console for any error messages related to the "Page Not Found" issue.
  3. Try creating a new post with a different title: If you're using a special character or a long title, try creating a new post with a simpler title to see if the issue persists.
  4. Check for any conflicts with other plugins or themes: If you've recently installed a new plugin or theme, try deactivating or uninstalling it to see if the issue resolves.
  5. Contact your web host or WordPress support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact your web host or WordPress support for further assistance.

I hope these troubleshooting steps help you resolve the "Page Not Found" error and create your new WordPress post successfully!
