unable to update/save on wp

  • Hello everybody, just wanted to share a issue i have been working on for a month now

    The problem is that i am not able to make changes to my wordpress site. i cannot update,save,edit or post or do anything that requires a “write” command to the database. Whenever i try to do so, i am redirected to the root directory. otherwise the site works fine, one can view all pages and make use of the site’s functionality as a non-admin user. (there is only one role- admin)

    i have searched for solutions and i would like to point out:
    1) .htaccess file is writable. it contains the following:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /site/index.php [L]
    # END WordPress

    ( the wordpress site is under “site” subdirectory)

    2) Permalinks are set to default. they are not saved when i try to edit them through the dashboard.

    3) in my database under the wp_options table (wp being the table prefix) there isnt a row that is named as wp_user_roles .

    4) i have disabled all plugins and removed the unrequired ones. this does not fix the issue

    5) reverting to an original theme also does not fix the issue

    i have only one wp site hosted on linux (apache) that is using PHP version 5.3 and MySQL version 5.5 with ample server memory.

  • How about you setup a new WordPress blog under a new directory, and see if its working as it should.

    If you get the same problem with the new blog, then its a problem with the server MySQL/PHP. Both PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.5 are at the end of their life’s.

    If the new blog is working without problems, then we can exclude the server as the cause.

    Have you tried from another pc or browser or tried deleting cookies and browsing history?

    the server has been updated with PHP version 5.63 and MySQL version 5.5.42. But the problem is still present ?? i tried clearing browser cache and cookies
    but that isnt the solution.
    Also i set up wordpress under a new directory but the same problem occurs in this directory too. i installed a non-wp site under a new directory but that seems to work fine
