Why doesnât my âPublishâ or âSave Draftâ button work?
To resolve this and similar issues, disable your plugins one at a time until you find the source of the issue. Generally, this will be due to two or more plugins trying to use the same resources (for example, JQuery or other Java-based tools).
In addition, it could be that there is a problem with your browser. A common resolution is to empty the browserâs cache. Please consult the documentation for your preferred browser to learn how to do this.
How to fix 404 error when using Pretty Permalinks?
If an error 404 occurs when using the Pretty Permalink choices such as Day and Name in Administration > Settings > Settings_Permalinks_Screen it could be a result of the mod_rewrite module not being activated/installed. The solution is to activate mod_rewrite for the Apache web-server. Check the apache\conf\httpd.conf file for the line # LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
and delete the # in front of the line. Then stop Apache and start it again. Note: you may have to ask your host to activate mod_rewrite.

Why isnât the admin user listed as an author when editing posts?
Not sure why this problem happens, but hereâs a couple of things to try one of these two solutions.
This usually fixes the problem:
Create new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
Login as ânewadminâ
Degrade the old âadminâ user to Role of Subscriber and Save
Promote the old âadminâ back to Administrator Role and Save
Login as the old âadminâ
If that doesnât work, try:
Create a new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
Login as ânewadminâ
Delete the old âadminâ user and assign any posts to ânewadminâ
Create âadminâ user with Administrator Role
Login as âadminâ
Delete ânewadminâ user and assign posts to âadminâ
