Does the 404 error occur if you use the Protostar template?

Try first refreshing the core files by downloading the Joomla 3.9.0 update package from https://downloads.joomla.org, then going to Components - Joomla! Update - Upload & Update and selecting the downloaded file and clicking 'Upload & Install'.

Hi,

Just waited for the new joomla release.
I've updated my CMS from 3.9.0 to 3.9.1 hoping the it would correct error.
Unfortunately, it still the same problem.

I have attached screenshot of my site for your reference, hopefully would be of help :-),
during editing mode (sc120720181.jpg) and after clicking Save Button
the next screenshot happen (sc120720182.jpg).

Just an observation.
Just noticed that same error occured when i try to add to article a UL tags,
i can save article only using <p>, <img> and <a> tags.

I don't know the other html tags, but using OL and UL tags got that "category not found" error.

Sorry if i just replied now, because i've waited for the new release of joomla :-)


Hope this would help you.

Thank you.
