There are pages or posts are not working update

I recently performed a fresh installation of WordPress 6.4. However, I have encountered an issue where I am unable to update posts or pages. I have attached a video URL to illustrate the problem. Please review the video, and if you have any questions or can identify the issue, kindly let me know.

Hey,

I have checked and working fine with PHP 8.0*. Saw your video also. The REST API may be disabled/not working on your local system, as all API links are showing up as 404 on your recordings. I have tested locally and on live server. Working fine with PHP 8.* version and 6.4 beta version.

you can see here my quick video - ​https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/21270918?key=af791a31b2df02fba1ae200a53cb66fb

Can you share your site health Info & active theme name, please?

Hello @utsav72640,

Welcome to WordPress Core's Trac :) Thank you for reporting the issue you experienced with 6.4 Beta 1.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue with 6.4 RC2. Are you able to retest using RC2? ​Instructions are here.

Note:

This is an env-related issue rather than a core bug. This error occurs when the htaccess file is not found and makes the wp-json/ path not work, eventually resulting in the error as reported in the ticket.

Bug scrub update

Props to @khoipro @jorbin

The error occurs when .htaccess files is not found.
Saving permalinks would help create or update the htaccess and hence solves this issue.

From watching the video, I think there is a chance that pretty permalinks were improperly setup or potentially damaged, but based on the info that isn't actionable. Please provide steps to reproduce, otherwise I think this should be closed as invalid.

Also, moving to Future Release until there is more information.

From the video and test report, I agree with @jorbin comment:8:

Closing the ticket with the assumption the issue is resolved and not related to Core (as it's been 5 months with no reporter follow-up).

@utsav72640 does this issue still happen today?
If no, yippee!
If yes, please reopen this ticket and provide step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce it. These type of information helps contributors investigate. Thank you.
