  I noticed this issue has cropped up before, but that was way back in Sep-Oct 2011.

  I have been facing this for the past few months: every time I hit the ‘Preview’ button or link for a post I am currently writing, I get a 404 error.

  I’ve tried with both Firefox (versions 13-15) and Chrome. The error persists. I have taken to publishing my posts and then fixing them afterwards (so that I can at least see what they look like), which is obviously not desirable. JavaScript is enabled in both browsers.

  Please help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I added an exception for wordpress.com (“Allow for session”) in Firefox and it started working.

  Thanks!
