Can't delete plugins or save new pages posts, and settings

  • I just installed WordPress and the dashboard was unstyled. I fixed that by adding the following to my wp-config: define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

    However, soon after that I discovered that attempting to delete a plugin redirects to a 404 page. The same thing also happens if I try to edit and re-publish or publish a new post. Wherever there’s an options panel, hitting the save button also leads to an endless loading symbol, nothing more. I’ve reinstalled WordPress twice, once manually and once via Softaculous, but no use. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

  • What are you hosting the WP site on? Additionally is it using Apache or Nxing?

    Linux, Apache.

    I have never seen anyone have to willingly use define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );, so I suspect there is definitely something going on.

    If you have installed WP twice then I would suspect there is something going on with your server config. I would do the following.

    1. Reset your folder permissions if you can, there may be something wrong with the current ones blocking you from accessing certain files.
    2. Check your Error and Access logs for Apache, there may be some messages to point you in the right direction.

    I’ve gone through the folder permissions mutliple times and they’re the same ones that are recommended. Is there a way to reset them enmass or check them all at once?

    There’s a 403 error on the site right now. I’m going to reinstall WordPress a third time. According to the error logs, index.php is missing from the public_html directory.
