I’m not sure what is going on, who is affected since some of my usual visitors are still able to comment, but I have gotten several messages from people trying to comment on my blog posts this week. They say when they hit ‘Post Comment’, they get an error message telling them: “Nothing Found. Sorry, the post you are looking for is not available. Maybe you want to perform a search?”
I’ve tried to submit a few comments myself and sometimes I get the same error message but then other times, the comment successfully gets submitted. I can’t figure out what’s going on and have tried deactivating all of my plugins but it still keeps happening.
Hey suzannewm94,
I was able to make two random posts, perhaps you have a comment spam blocker that flagged them?
Here’s someone that had the same issue and it was their .htaccess file: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-post-a-comment/#post-98553Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
Thanks for looking into this issue. I’m unfortunately not computer savvy enough to know much about the .htaaccess file and how that works so I definitely would not have added any rules to that myself. Could a plugin have done something to it? I did have a All-In-One WP Security Plugin installed when this issue started happening. Since I know that has a pretty heavy duty spam blocker, I disabled it a couple of days ago to see if it would make a difference, but the issue seems to persist.
Hi,
Can you please include a admin login in the private content area so we can take a closer look?Best regards,
MikeHi Mike,
I contacted my service provider after your initial response and they were able to replicate my issue and determine it had something to do with the firewall settings on the server. They made a couple of tweaks and the issue appears to be resolved, so I think I’m good to go now. Thanks!
