wp-admin/post-new.php redirects to blog index

Wordpress

After I upgraded the blog to wordpress v 2.9 I noticed something went wrong, both my post-new.php and edit.php pages were redirecting to the blog index with a 302 redirect (HTTP/1.x 302 Moved Temporarily). The first thing I did was to check the htaccess file from the index and from the wp-admin directory but the problem wasn’t coming from there. Next thing I disabled all of my plugins to see if one of the plugins was causing the problem but it wasn’t the case. Finally I thought I should reinstall wordpress because this was most likely a wordpress glitch. So if you find yourself in the same situation here is what you need to do to fix the redirect:

from the admin panel go to Tools> Upgrade > Re-install automatically , next wordpress will re-install the same version automatically. This fixed my problem and I can use the pages now.

    Found your site while googling the same problem. This worked or me…thanks! I was about to manually reinstall it, but this was much easier and less time consuming.
