# Cannot preview draft posts or pages

 * Hi,
 * I have 3 websites, one of which is on WP 5.4.1 and the others on 5.3.3.
 * The site on WP 5.4.1, I cannot preview any new page or post drafts, it just shows
   me the homepage. I can still preview already published pages.
 * The sites on WP 5.3.3 all enable me to create new draft pages and preview ok.
 * The only way I have been able to add new pages to the 5.4.1 version of the site
   is to overwrite old existing pages.
 * There are no errors in the Apache logs. I use Avada theme. I use Classic Editor
   plugin which makes no difference if disabled. I also have the Healthcheck plugin
   which is not reporting any issues.
 * Any other advice would be appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-preview-draft-posts-or-pages%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I’m seeing a similar thing on 5.4.1 – I can’t preview or update existing posts
   or pages. It takes me to the list of posts/pages when I click preview or update
   and doesn’t save my changes.
 * It did this some weeks ago, but then seemed to work again for a bit, but now 
   doesn’t work at all. I essentially can’t update the website at all!
 * I also can’t update my Divi theme, which may be a separate issue, but as the 
   preview and update buttons are actual WordPress buttons I don’t understand how
   the theme would affect this.
