 * Hi,
 * Try using a default WordPress theme, such as Twenty Fifteen and let me know if
   you’re also facing this error, or if it’s just with the theme. 🙂

 * I just tried Twenty Fifteen and twenty fourteen and both sent me to the same (…
   post.php) address.
 * Sounds like a problem with the WP installation. ?.?.?

 * Hi,
 * You will find guides on that. You will have to delete all the WordPress files,
   excluding /wp-content/ folder and wp-config.php file.
 * You don’t have to delete the database. But before you do that, post this about
   issue in the WordPress forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting)
