here’s a new yt-video of the full run including fails to create new posts or pages.

here’s the bone-stock .htaccess created by WP:

[RESOLVED]

[SYMPTOMS]
On default/stock config, unable to add/edit post and pages after changing permalink settings.

[RESOLUTION]
prepend desired permalink setting with “/index.php/”

‘lo JNash,

First, you! are a gawt damn genius!

I did try it again.
1) I was able to create new postes AND new pages w/ base/default/stock config.
2) After changing Permalink to Post Name, I was still UNABLE to create new posts, or pages.

so.. why are you so gawt damn’d amazing?
because after adding /index.php/%postname%/ to the permalinks, it all WORKED!

Seriously JNH, thank you for your mind, your time and your patience.

I still wana call this a bug, but you definitely nailed the work-a-round.

mad UPs to you Sir -Thank You

here’s a Youtube video of a fresh install WP5.1.1 rolling straight into demo of add new page= success then fail after changing permalinks.

‘lo JNash,

yes, I’ve tried the ‘reset’ of stuck-permalinks you’ve described above. –to no avail.
I’ve also selected custom, and chosen the elements via buttons below. If they are set to anything but the default, I’m unable to add/edit pages.
