wordpress form submission and the 404 error page

Question

I have the following form on a wordpress template page. I\'m getting a 404 error each time i submit the form but I\'m not using any of the reserved workpress parameter names

Answer 1

Problem is that WordPress have some words reserved and it will throw that error when submitting forms:

Some of the words that I found myself and surfing the web are:

• Custom post type names
• taxonomy names
• "name"
• "day"
• "month"
• "year"
• "category"
• "title"

So be careful when creating a a custom form and try to name your inputs with some prefix. In my case, I had a custom post type called "history" and I was naming the input the same way.
