I solved the problem by NOT editing the permalink that was automatically created by WordPress. In the past, I’ve edited the automatically generated permalink and everything worked fine. Not this time.

I’m not NECESSARILY suggesting there is a problem with the latest release, this may be a cache-related problem. I originally created a version of the posting, but realized there was something odd about the right column of my new post page. The “categories” menu was completely missing and the session didn’t seem to be stable. I trashed this copy of the post prior to publishing, created a new post, and entered text as I normally would. I edited the permalink to have the SAME NAME as the trashed posting. My guess is that the permalink pointed to the trashed posting due to caching – but who knows. Perhaps there is a problem with permalink editing.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve always followed the same process. 1) I paste the title into the new post, 2) I paste the body into the new post, 3) I edit the permalink to reflect my internal name pattern (s4q3 means section 4 question 3), and I selected the featured image and set the category. Then I publish.

I trashed the posting a few minutes ago, then I repeated the process just described. Same result. I can access the posting from my home page as the WP admin, but not from another device as a regular user.

You’ll need to tell me where to find the .htaccess file and what, specifically it is/does.

I have not tried deactivating all plugins & switching to a default theme. Isn’t that a little drastic?
