 * Hello,
 * I suddenly cannot edit old posts. In fact when I click on “post” or “all posts”
   it redirects to /not_found (This page could not be found!) instead of /wp-admin/
   edit.php (show all posts). I did not do anything. It was all working yesterday.
   I tried using the health check plugin and disable all the plugins and changed
   to default theme but I still could not access the “post” in the dashboard. I 
   can create new posts.

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the issue you’re experiencing.
 * Could you go to your _dashboard – settings – permalink_ and click save or simply
   select another option and save, then select your preferred option and save again.
 * Hopefully, that should flush rewrite rules and fix the issue.
 * Let me know if that works or not so we can explore other options. Cheers!
