 * Hi. I cannot save posts on my blog properly and I’m not sure why. It takes like
   5 minutes to save a post. Sometimes it’ll take me to a 404 page. Sometimes it
   doesn’t save, and sometimes it just hangs. If I’m lucky then it’ll save
 * How do I fix this?
    Just upgraded to 2.6 by the way, was on 2.5.2 before

 * I am having the same problem. When I type the title of the new post, the auto-
   draft is saved properly and shows up in Drafts. But when I type the blog post
   itself and try to save it, the page spins forever and the post is never saved.
 * This happens in IE 7, Firefox (Win) and Firefox (Mac).
 * I am on WordPress 2.6.3.
 * I’ve done the following steps:
    – converted my categories to tags – changed the
   domain settings to domain.com rather than [http://www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)–
   added an .htaccess on the wp-admin directory
 * So far, nothing is working. I cannot post to the blog at all.

 * OK, found a solution.

 * Do the provided .htaccess change in the root directory. Worked for me.
