Can’t Delete Post
-
I’m unable to delete a post. I click on “Delete” and confirm “Yes” and the higlighted post goes red but doesn’t drop off. Even stranger, when I open comments, the error message gives me a 404 number.
Anyone else encountered this sort of WordPress oddity?

Which post are you trying to delete exactly? And what browser are you using?
A 404 error means that the page doesn’t exist. So probably you could wait for sometime and the post will be gone. It takes time for the WP servers to update themselves. You could also try clearing your cache and deleting your cookies if nothing else works.

Another thing you can try is to create a new post with exactly the same name and then go to Dashboard > Manage > Posts and delete that post. In the past that’s deleted both posts, and it’s worked for pages that won’t delete as well.
