# Missing post.php page

 * I’m having a huge problem with my blog.
 * After writing a new entry, attempting to either publish or save the entry results
   in a 404 page not found error.
 * I’ve gone in to my directory via ftp and checked, and the post.php file IS there,
   and in the wp-admin directory — iow, it’s not missing. I ran automatic upgrade
   AFTER this issue began, but it’s still happening. No other changes have been 
   made to my blog installation in months.
 * Can anyone help?

 * If you go straight to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/post.php do you also get a 404 
   error or are you redirected to the /wp-admin/edit.php page?

 * No 404 when going directly to the url — just a redirect to the log in page.
 * I did some trouble shooting on the post in question. I edited it to just ‘test’.
   I was able to save and publish that post with no issues.
 * Added some basic test – ditto. No problems with publish or save.
 * Added a link to Flickr — the 404 error code ‘wp-admin/post.php’ is not found.
 * Removed Flickr direct link, changed it to a tinyurl version of the same link —
   no more 404.
 * Added an embedded Flickr gallery, and the 404 error was back.
 * I tried adding a .htaccess page with the fix mentioned on this blog — [http://tinyurl.com/4vhdx8](http://tinyurl.com/4vhdx8)
 * This resulted in wp-admin/index.php throwing a 404 error.
 * So, I assume this is some sort of security issue? If so, why did it only start
   today? Why is it blocking Flickr? That’s a huge PITA — like a lot of people, 
   every other blog I do has a link to Flickr in it.
