In reply to: Cannot change permalink settings in WordPress 4.0It was a server security setting.

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0That fix worked. RESOLVED!

In reply to: Cannot change permalink settings in WordPress 4.0I’ve found out what it is – http://www.utopiamechanicus.com/article/406-error-wordpress/
They had exactly the same problems as me (couldn’t add pictures to posts or edit the permalink settings) and it was a server security setting.
“MOD_SECURITY is a filter that tries to prevent ‘bad’ words from getting into the forms via POST (or GET). ”

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I believe this is the answer”
MOD_SECURITY is a filter that tries to prevent ‘bad’ words from getting into the forms via POST (or GET). In this case, it thought the <img> (image) tag’s src= entry URL with “http://” in it might be an attempt at hacking, and likely /%category%/%postname%/ an attempt to hide data (the % is used for encoding).
“By just turning off the POST filtering, the rest of MOD_SECURITY remains active.
Oddly enough, for my client, none of these worked. I figured it must be something else (like some server filtering, perhaps). But since I had explored all the options, I was certain that WordPress was doing nothing, and it must be a server setting. So I asked my client to contact support, mentioning that certain keywords were being filtered.
The result? THEY turned off MOD_SECURITY, and his site was as good as new!

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I’ve done a completely new install. Wiped all content and the database.
I still get the same problem with WordPress 4.0!
If I try to add an image to a post then the result is: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.
Searching for that lead to this where they had exactly the same problem as me!

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0It must be related to the database – I’ve got a completely Fresh install of WordPress using the old database and it still does it.

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I don’t think the problem is related to the themes. I think I will back the whole lot up and start a new install of WordPress and see if I can make posts containing images with that.

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I’ve looked at a single post to make it simpler.
Theme Plugins Error count
2014 No plugins 5
2014 All plugins 5
2012 No plugins 15
2012 All plugins 15
Publish All plugins 15
Child All plugins 16Iv’e had a a look at the 2014 errors and they are:
1) use of <p align=”center”> which is obsolete.
2) The frameborder attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead.
3) this one looks like a possible cause:Bad value attachment wp-att-2178 for attribute rel on element a: The string wp-att-2178 is not a registered keyword.

Syntax of list of link-type keywords:
A whitespace-separated list of link types, with no duplicate keywords in the list.

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I’ve run that checked with various combinations of plugins in and themese.
Plugins make no difference but themes do.Publish – child: 168
Publish: 168
2012: 156
2014: 60Am I responsible for those errors? All I’ve done is choose a theme, add some plugins and get posting. I don’t know what I’d do to fix any of them.

In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0That includes images from other sites. As soon as it encounters an <img tag then it seems to stop working. That has to be theme related don’t you think?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0Critical update!
With all plugins off and running 2014 theme then I can add a new post.
As soon as I add an image then it fails to update properly.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0Do you mean that the “?post=2193&action=edit&message=1” would be stored in the posts table and maybe missing from the old posts? What field would store that?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cannot update old posts in WordPress 4.0I need to do what exactly? Do you mean that the entries in the database might be different for the old posts. So I can copy the relevant bits in to the table or something?
