    I am a new user. Installed WordPress this week. Made my first posts with no issues. Then I went and changed my Permalink settings and now Posts won’t save or publish… however quick drafts still save…

    Help greatly appreciated!

    Errors:

    Chrome & Edge both create the same error
    DEBUG did not fix the error

    /wordpress/wp-json/w…=100&_locale=user:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
    /wordpress/wp-json/w…edit&_locale=user:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

  • It’s likely that WordPress is unable to write to the .htaccess file which is preventing permalinks from being properly enabled. This has the knock-on effect of causing an error in the Block Editor.

    You’ll need to give WordPress write access to the .htaccess file. For more information you can learn more about using permalinks here.

    Thanks for help Robert. It resolved my problem.

    Hey, thanks for the response. I have changed the permissions of the .htaccess file but it is still not working. I never had the opportunity to use any permission numbers such as 677 but when I view the permissions it says everything is granted (except special permissions).

    Fixing Other Issues
    If your .htaccess file is being generated correctly, but Permalinks still do not function, the following might be a problem. If problems persist, post a note in the WordPress Forum’s How To section.

    AllowOverride Not Enabled
    Your server may not have the AllowOverride directive enabled. If the AllowOverride directive is set to None in your Apache httpd.config file, then .htaccess files are completely ignored. In this case, the server will not even attempt to read .htaccess files in the filesystem. When this directive is set to All, then any directive which has the .htaccess Context is allowed in .htaccess files. Example of enabled AllowOverride directive in httpd.config:
    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    You may also have to enable the AllowOverride directive in your DocumentRoot:

    <Directory /var/www/html>
    # … other directives…
    AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    You may also have to change the AllowOverride settings for the site. This is surely the case when using Mac OS X Server, but might be likewise with other systems. Usually you can find the site configuration files in /etc/httpd/sites/
    If you don’t want to set AllowOverride to all (as it is above) then your AllowOverride list must include the FileInfo directive. You must restart your Apache server for any httpd.config file changes to take effect. For more information on which overrides are allowed, read about Apache Core Features.
