Page Not found on update

After I make changes to the page, the auto save kicks in, and says “Saving Draft” but never completes the auto save, and I can’t update.

BTW, this is happening on two different sites, using a modification of the twentyeleven theme for each one, as a child theme. I don’t know if that makes any difference. And it never happened before I updated to the newest version of WP.

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

I deactivated all the plugins… Didn’t work.
I renamed the plugin folder to plugin-test to see if something was not playing well. Didn’t work.
I renamed the plugin file back to the original. Same result.
I re-installed the latest version of WP. Didn’t work.
I tried switching the theme back to twenty eleven. Didn’t work.
I am going to ftp the admin and includes folders now, to see if that is the problem. Will let you know in a few minutes.

I re-uploaded the admin and includes folders from a fresh install of WP… Didn’t work. Any more suggestions?

Man… I switched it to the twenty ten theme, thinking maybe something was wrong with twenty eleven, and that didn’t work either. So it is not the theme, it is not the plugins, and I put in a fresh install of the admin and includes folders, checked the permissions, and nothing works.

And, I have php5.3.8 on the linux server, and there is a bunch of space, so that is not the problem.

I have deleted my cache in the browser and tried to do the updates both with a Chrome browser and IE, with the same results.

All the permissions are set at 755 for the folders.

This is in the htaccess file:

# -FrontPage-

<Limit GET POST>

Try switching back to the default permalink settings and renaming your .htaccess file.

I just re-installed everything with a fresh database last night, and it still is doing the same thing on the same page. I did have the default permlink settings, and updated it, before I changed the permalink to /%postname%/.

How would changing the name of the .htaccess file do anything? What is supposed to be on it and what is not supposed to be on it? Don’t you have to have one? Or will another one be created with the original name?

Try switching back to the default permalink settings and renaming your .htaccess file.

I did switch back to the default permalink settings, and renamed the .htaccess file to .htaccess-old and it did make a small change. Instead of sending me to a Page Not Found, it now goes to a page that says:
“Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /wp-admin/post.php could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

Why is it that this thing only happens on one page… The rest are OK. Could it be some content that I have on the page? I have 3 links that are supposed to open in a new window. If does not seem to make any difference whether I type my changes in or copy and paste. I have re-installed WordPress 3 times now, but still the same effect. That one page will not update, if I put everything in there. If I have a very abbreviated version, just text, it will update. The page is here, using the default permalinks.

When I did the re-install, I cleaned up and took everything off of the htaccess file and started a new database, and uploaded all new files and content. Still can not update my siding page, except for what is currently there. I am at my wits end here… I spent all last night and most of today trying to get this site to work. Is there anything else I can try?

When I try to save this page under another name, I still get this error.
