Description

Since upgrading to 3.4, when I try to edit a menu that is not the first one to appear on the screen (i.e., I click on the tab of the menu I want to edit), I am presented with a 404 error. Tried saving permalinks, but no good.

URL trying to reach to edit menu is http://www.doitwithwp.com/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=edit&menu=379

This is some sort of server configuration issue. Very simply, wp-admin/nav-menus.php is a file that should definitely be getting the request here. Something is preventing '&menu=' from allowing Apache to pass that directly to wp-admin/nav-menus.php, and instead what is happening is it is falling through and reaching index.php. Do you have any custom .htaccess rules?

You may wish to try the support forums: http://wordpress.org/support/.

You're right. Sorry for the false alarm.

The Perishable Press 5G blacklist firewall uses the following command:

# 5G:[QUERY STRINGS]
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (environ|localhost|mosconfig|scanner) [NC,OR]
 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (menu|mod|path|tag)\=\.?/? [NC,OR]
 RewriteRule .* - [F]
</ifModule>

Removing the menu element fixed the issue.

Thanks for the insight.
