Troubleshooting
Thanks Robkk, tried a number of these but no luck. All was working fine until a couple of days ago when a table for a plugin got corrupted. That was restored and everything is working well. It’s an active site so tough to do too much on it. I’ll keep beating on it! 🙂
Finally solved my issue by “beating on it”! Thought I would share my answer in hopes others might benefit.
To recap I was getting a 404 Error (Page not found) when trying to access “All Replies” from the admin screen.
I set up a test site, transferred a backup of the site using VaultPress, which made it particularly easy, but any method will work. also made sure I updated the URLs on the test site.
After disabling the plugins I was still getting the problem but could see enough of the “All Replies” page (could not with plugins enabled) to notice that there was 1 item in “draft” and “trash” each. I could not access them from the munged up “All Replies” page I was looking at. I then logged into my cPanel and phpMyAdmin and went to the wp_posts table. Using “Search” I first searched for post_status = draft, post_type = reply I then deleted that record. I next did the same for post_status = trash, post_type = reply.
Problem Solved!
Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks for sharing, will keep this bookmarked so that I can come back to it as a possible solution if other users come across the same issue.
