# Can’t edit/delete/create new pages/posts/comments

 * I just installed my new WordPress.
 * But when I try to delete/edit a post or comment (or even create/edit new categories)
   it won’t do it.
 * Forexample I click “delete” and it seems it went through, but when I go back 
   to the same page, the post/comment still exists as if nothing has been done.
 * I’m thinking it is a “read only” problem on one of the files, but I dont know
   which one.
 * Any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Nima

 * Sounds like a file may have gotten corrupted. You can try reuploading new WordPress
   files.

 * Did you obtain a completely new copy of the installation files? They’re up to
   2.1.3 now – which is 2+ what you’re using. You should use the new one anyway 
   for security reasons.

 * Its not on my [http://www.nimaheydarian.com](http://www.nimaheydarian.com) website…
 * It’s on [http://www.pokereagles.com](http://www.pokereagles.com) and yes, I am
   using the newest files.

 * _and yes, I am using the newest files._
 * Actually, no, you’re not:
 * <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.1.2″ />
 * and the URL is the above + “poker-blog” – the rest of the site doesn’t help your
   issue.
 * Anyway, looking at the viewable portion of your site doesn’t really help, either–
   the stuff we need to see isn’t usually public knowledge. You say “it won’t do
   it” – but what *does* it do? Do you get an error message? Have you checked your
   log files? Did you clear your browser cache?

 * I’m having the same problem. No errors, you delete a page, the dialog pops up
   says you’re about to delete the page, OK/Cancel…hit OK, the page ‘disappears’
   from the list. But it doesn’t disappear, it is still there, and if you referesh
   the page list it will reappear.

 * I found that by EDITING the page, and clicking the “Delete Page” button from 
   within the editor, the page is actually deleted, for good.
