    Dear Sir,

    Good day to you!

    I’m encountering a persistent issue in my WordPress backend where clicking “Edit Product” or the “Update” button after making changes results in a 404 Page Not Found error. This prevents me from managing my WooCommerce products effectively.

    To help you understand the problem better, I’ve recorded a short screen demonstration: https://streamable.com/pvqlta

    Looking forward to your support.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    We sincerely appreciate the details you have provided regarding the issue. The 404 Page Not Found error when editing or updating products in WooCommerce may be caused by permalink settings, plugin conflicts, or server-related restrictions.

    To troubleshoot the issue, please try the following steps:

    1. Reset Permalinks:
    – Navigate to **Settings** > **Permalinks** in your WordPress dashboard.
    – Without making any changes, click **Save Changes** to refresh the permalink structure.
    – Check if the issue persists.

    2. Deactivate Plugins:
    – Temporarily deactivate all third-party plugins except WooCommerce.
    – Try editing or updating a product again.
    – If the issue is resolved, reactivate the plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.

    3. Check for Theme Conflicts:
    – Switch to a default WordPress theme (such as Storefront or Twenty Twenty-Four).
    – Test if the issue still occurs.

    4. Enable Debugging:
    – Enable WordPress debugging by adding the following lines to your **wp-config.php** file:

    php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
@ini_set('display_errors', 0);

    – After enabling debugging, check the **wp-content/debug.log** file for any error messages that might indicate the cause of the issue.

    5. Check Server Configuration:
    – Ensure that your hosting provider does not have any security restrictions (such as ModSecurity rules) that might be blocking product updates.
    – You may also check the server error logs for any related errors.

    If the issue persists after performing these steps, please let us know, and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Best Regards,
    8Theme’s Team
