Can’t edit from wp-admin/post.php?action=edit

Sorry the version I am using is 2.2.2!

Do you get an error of any sort when you try to edit?

Hi HandySolo…Nope, it goes to a page “The page cannot be displayed”….Like how you’d get if you typed in a non-existing domain. sigh….

Re-install doesn’t work (I’ve tried almost all of the other versions – older and newer)!

Sounds like a mod_security issue (maybe).

Try the whooami method:

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

create a text file on your desktop:

put the following inside it:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

save the file.

Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.

Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)

IF YOU DO HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

Edit it:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

save the new .htaccess

I do not have .htaccess in my wp-admin folder but when I did one and uploaded it, it had no effect when I once again tried to edit an entry. (I specifically saved the file as .htaccess )

Does the .htaccess need to be chmoded or am i missing something?

no, it doesnt need to be chmod’d to anything other than the normal 644

How about this in the .htaccess instead:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecRuleEngine Off
</IfModule>

okie I didn’t chmod .htaccess Result: I couldn’t even post new entries, nor edit posts.

I tried
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecRuleEngine Off
</IfModule>

and I had an internal sever error
“An unknown error took place while generating the page you requested.”

So now I had to delete the .htaccess file.

Any other ideas? THANKS!

Well, this isn’t a happy success story, is it? Last post one week ago and no response. Last words heard from the unfortunate soul are “Any other ideas? THANKS!” Maybe he just gave up. I hope he’s still not waiting for a response.
They always tell you to look at the FAQ’s. So here I am and this sounds like the place I should be because I cannot post anything. And the message I get, well it’s not a message really. It’s just a little phrase on a tab where lost more should be. And it says….mydomain.com wp-admin/post.php.
That’s it. What does it mean? Anybody?
