I’ve got a simple custom page template with a form on it. This page can process the form itself, so the entered data gets submitted there as well, using POST. Submitting the form, however, results in a 404 in my blog’s regular theme (default template). If I leave out all of the data entry elements in the form, so I’ll be submitting an entry form, it somehow works.

wp_headandwp_footerin there.Are you using any of the wordpress reserved words in your html form? If yes that will give you a 404 page error when submitting.
