Hi there, -I created a droplet using the WordPress one-click installation on ubuntu 18.04 -I secured it with SSH Keys. -I secured my site with SSL certificate from Let’s encrypt -Prior to that, I created a virtual host file and moved the site to a virtual host folder, following these tutoials:
Finally, I managed to enable secure WordPress updates, following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-secure-updates-and-installations-in-wordpress-on-ubuntu
Everything OK so far. (I’m able to update WordPress; install activate and deactivate plugins, upload images, install activate and deactivate themes.)
The only problem I have is that I’m unable to write content on WordPress (create or update entries or pages). Whenever I try to create or update any content on my WordPress admin, it fails. I cannot even save my drafts.
The console of my browser shows 404 errors and it seems it have to do with this . api-fetch.min.js?ver=2.2.5:1
At first, I thought it was something to do with permissions, but I discarded that since I gave 755 permissions to the www-data user and www-data group to the host folder and indeed I must have access from my wp admin page (otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to upload images or install and activate plugins)
I think my trouble has something to do with the virtual host I created. Something I didn’t configure properly,
I tried setting up my .htaccesss file, following this tutorial https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory (without url change)
Nothing has worked so far. So frustrating… what am I doing wrong?
Please, I’d deeply appreciate your help.

Hey friend,
If I had to guess, I’d bet that your Wordpress site URL is misconfigured. Check out this guide and make sure that the URL is configured properly in the instance:
