If you have a problem posting on your blog, ask yourself if some of the text you’re entering is causing the problem.

For example, try this:

• Create a post, and add .htaccess to the post (or title).
• Click on ‘Save and Continue Editing’

You’ll likely get a 404 error.

I’m guessing that this is a filtering issue in WordPress, and probably a security feature that prevents that text from displaying.

But I hate writing htaccess without the period – so what to do?

Use the HTML code for the period in your posts – . in this case:

.htaccess

And you’ll be fine.
