Can't post on WP, only refreshes to main domain page after publishing

    Hi all, I am using the latest build of WordPress and suddenly just last night, I lost the ability to post anything. Sometimes the publish button is grayed out and sometimes the saving to draft freezes.

    Also when I get the chance to publish, it only refreshes going to the front end of my website.

    Steps I’ve done so far:
    1. Moved all plugins to another folder in the root
    2. Reset my php.ini files
    3. Switch theme to default twenty eleven or sixteen
    4. Added code on functions.php to disable or create another button to disabled autosave

    So far no luck. I was only able to post one time few hours ago and now it’s back. Seems to be intermittent.

    Please advise and thank you in advance.

  • Try checking your site’s error logs for messages that might help to track down the problem. Your hosts should be able to help you accessing your site’s error logs.

    Unfortunately, my cPanel error log is empty. My host also upgraded me to php 5.6, it now gives me a 500 error after clicking publish. Not sure if Easy Apache is the culprit or not but I will gather more info about this and update accordingly.

    Unfortunately, error 500 is just a generic “Oops – something went wrong” message and is of no use when tracking down problems. Is your cPanel error log still empty? Can you FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) & look for any files called error.log within your domain. You may have to go through quite a few folders to find one.

    Between the 2 dates that this issue happened, those are the errors. They are all similar. I checked for other errors but there’s nothing different. This started when I updated WP-Spamshield and Masshare plugin but I tried to isolate the issue and it’s the same thing.

    Not sure what I did or what the host did but on my end,

    1. I removed the “//” on the “wp_enqueue_script(‘autosave’);” in the post.php which I placed earlier today for troubleshooting.
    2. Changed my WordFence to enable caching and enable Falcon Caching
    3. Tried posting and I can now post again.

    Totally weird. Not sure what’s the issue is or what’s the true fix but it’s working now. One thing I cannot do is I can’t add media into the post, which is OK for me because I can always use the Featured Picture.

    I will leave this topic open until tomorrow so I can test more if the issue comes back or not, then I will close..

    To “esmi”, I saw your post on the other thread way back about this same issue and I thank you for the response. Hit you back tomorrow.

    Same issue. As soon as I hit Publish, it goes to the front end of the website
