It actually publishes the post, but it still says “You attempted to edit a post that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?” I’m using php5, on godaddy host. * [bevived](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bevived/) * (@bevived) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898407) * This problem is still occurring for me, except now it is every single time I edit or publish a new post (since RC1). I am also with GoDaddy, like BettyJJ. I never had this problem before 2.7. * [phototristan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phototristan/) * (@phototristan) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898408) * I’m having this problem too. My host is hostgator and I’m on PHP 5.2.6). * For me, it churns for a while and eventually gives that error even though the post seems to be edited a-okay. * [phototristan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phototristan/) * (@phototristan) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898410) * It looks like the page doesn’t reload properly after posting/editing. If I watch the ‘update’ button after clicking it, it blinks and then it seems the post is updated when it blink. But, the page never reloads properly after that. * [phototristan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phototristan/) * (@phototristan) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898413) * Fixed in latest nightly build. Thanks. * [sfeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sfeet/) * (@sfeet) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898414) * i just downloaded the latest RC1 and this problem is still occurring. * On another note, I’m not sure if it was intended or not, but once you save a post, and are staring at it again and want to make a minor edit, it shouldn’t require you having to go back to the edit screen to select the post you want to edit. * I presume that is not what the designers intended, but if they did that creates and extra step which I don’t think is necessary. * [jayp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayp/) * (@jayp) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898416) * I’m having this same problem with RC1. Updating a post works (the page does get updated) but I see the following error message each time I try to update a post. * > WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away] > SELECT comment_approved, > COUNT( * ) AS num_comments FROM wp_comments GROUP BY comment_approved > WordPress database error: [MySQL server has gone away] > SELECT * FROM wp_posts > WHERE ID = 361 LIMIT 1 > You attempted to edit a post that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted? * [Tyler Regas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tylermobodojocom/) * (@tylermobodojocom) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898417) * I’m having the same issue, though I’m on RC1 via SimpleScripts and hosted by BlueHost. I’ve not attempted the in-built updater just yet. As described by others, after Publishing a new Post it hangs until it errors out. * [bushtool](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bushtool/) * (@bushtool) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898419) * I had this issue but with 2.7rc2 that came out yesterday, the problem went away. * [tisawyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tisawyer/) * (@tisawyer) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898426) * I have this problem the production 2.7 code. Posts are saved but the “you attempted to edit a post that doesn’t exist. perhaps it was deleted” message is displayed. Funny thing is it’s not happening every time. Seems like if I quickly create a post or make an edit quickly I don’t get the error. Something to do with automatic draft saves perhaps? * [Rat Fink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rat-fink/) * (@rat-fink) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898435) * It’s still happening (but with full 2.7 release, not beta). I’m with SiteGround. com, PHP v. 5.2.5. * [askew_media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askew_media/) * (@askew_media) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898450) * Hello, I am having this same issue. I am redirected to a page that says “You attempted to edit a post that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?” after I click “update post”. * Its been working fine all along. I tried to disable some plugins to see if that was the issue. I also upgraded from 2.7 to 2.7.1. Still not working. * I am with Siteground using PHP 5.2.6. Any suggestions? * Thanks * [renderingstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renderingstudio/) * (@renderingstudio) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-problem/#post-898451) * Hello Friends, * I have a also same issue Please Suggest me.
