Title: strange redirect error while managing posts Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # strange redirect error while managing posts * [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/) * I am using WordPress version 2.6.3. * Here is my process… Publish a new post, fine. From that screen, hit edit post and then save, fine. Click, manage, select that same post (or any for that matter), make changes, then hit save – problem. * It redirects to my 404 not found page. * When I hit manage my web address is the following: `http://www.domain.net/wp- admin/post.php?action=edit&post=209` * After making the changes and hitting save, the page address that is showing the 404 error is the following: `http://www.domain.net/wp-admin/post.php?action= edit&post=209&message=1&_wp_original_http_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.net% 2Fwp-admin%2Fedit.php` * Any ideas as to why this could be happening?

Could it be something with 2.6.3 ? Because, this is the only one I updated to 2.6.3 ? * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895367) * Any other thoughts ? I tried de-activating all plugins – that didn’t help either. * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895377) * Nobody ever have this issue before? * [gnmg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnmg/) * (@gnmg) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895393) * I seem to be having a similar problem. I can go to my dashboard then from there if I try to go to any other place in the admin I am redirected to my home page which says a 404 error. * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895408) * anybody else experience this error ? I’m not sure how to solve this. Maybe backup and re-install ? * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895417) * So I updated to new WordPress install. Still having this issue. Deactivated all plugins. Using a default install of WordPress – no hacks. Still getting this redirect error. * could it be a .htaccess error? * thanks for any help * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895419) * This problem is still occurring. It is happening on ANY wordpress install on my server. Even happens in 2.7. I have no clue why. * Any thoughts? Thanks! * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895420) * > So I updated to new WordPress install. * thats not the solution. its only **part** of the solution. * [http://wordpress.org/search/hacked?forums=1](http://wordpress.org/search/hacked?forums=1) * Thread Starter [maestro42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maestro42/) * (@maestro42) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-redirect-error-while-managing-posts/#post-895421) * FOR ANYONE INTERESTED I SOLVED PROBLEM! * Contacted my host.

Why do you think my blog would be hacked?
