500 Server error on a single post

  • I recently created a new theme, and in doing so, trashed the formating of my most popular post. So I went in to edit it and clean it up, but I get an “Internal Server Error 500” every time I click the “edit” button. I can Quick Edit easily enough, and the post is still available on the site (although it looks ugly as sin), I just can’t edit it.

    I’d just recreate it except that I have almost 1000 comments and pingbacks associated with the article and I’d like to salvage them.

    Anyone have a suggestion?

  • Have you tried resetting your custom permalinks to the defaults, saving the updated permalinks, then resetting your custom permalinks back up again?

    OK. I reset permalinks to the default and saved. Tried to edit. Same problem.

    Then I put the permalinks back. Saved. Tried to edit. Same problem.

    So that wasn’t it.

    Sorry – I was hoping it would reset things back up again. ??

    Anything unusual in your .htaccess file? Have you tried removing the .htaccess file temporarily to see if this has any effect?

    Still no dice.
