WordPress Preview Not Working

I don't like Google as a company, but there's a reason I wind up using their search engine rather than DuckDuckGo. Here's an example.

I'm having a problem with WordPress where, if I hit "preview," I get an error page instead of a preview of my page (saying "This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?"). In search of a solution, I go to DuckDuckGo and search for "WordPress preview page not found."

The result — a bunch of completely unhelpful pages.

Yeah, I know how to use the preview function, DuckDuckGo. How about help finding the problem I described in my search query? So, I go to Google with the exact same search term. Guess what?

Hey! There we go! Several sites with people posting about the problem I'm having. Maybe those sites will be useless, but at least I'm finding what I actually searched for. This site is the one that had the correct solution, by the way. Just in case the page disappears someday (which happens often), I'll recap the steps to fix this problem below.

1. In your browser, log out of your WordPress site (or sites if you have more than one logged in.)
2. Close all your browser windows, even the minimized ones.
3. Relaunch your browser and make sure it only has only one tab open.
4. Click the menu at the top right of your browser window (it usually three horizontal lines)  and choose "Settings." This opens up a new page.
5. Click on the "History" tab at the top. Then click "clear browsing data" on the left hand side.
6. Under "advanced," check everything except passwords and auto-fill form data. Then click "clear data."
7. Repeat the process under Basic, with browsing history, cookies, and caches images and files. Choose "all time" for the time range and choose "clear data."
8. Close your browser and start it up again.

Something went wrong

This screenshot perfectly encapsulates the "Microsoft experience" I've had throughout my entire life. "Something went wrong," followed by some incomprehensible errors codes and only one option presented: to give up.

Backing up Google Autheticator

So my phone is having Stupid Issues yet again, so I'm going to do a factory reset as a last resort before buying a new phone. Of course, I can't just wipe the phone without more Stupid Issues. Namely, I have a number of sites that, for one reason or another, require I use Google Authenticator to access them.

So, how do I backup my Google Authenticator codes before doing a factory reset? Simple: you can't. You need to have saved whatever numbers or QR codes you used to set up your keys to begin with. And if you didn't save those? You're SOL and simply have to lose access to all the sites and set up entirely new codes for everything after I wipe my phone.

The apparent solution was to have used "Authy" instead. Maybe. Who knows? In any case, even the factory resetting didn't fix the Stupid Issues, so now it looks like I have to buy a new phone if I want simple things like Bluetooth enabled once again. Thanks, Google!
