Issue: Unable to Edit Blog Post - Missing Post ID

Description:

After publishing a blog post, users are unable to edit the post. The update process fails, and the following error is observed:

This error indicates that the _id of the post is not properly passed in the PUT request to update the post.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write and publish a blog post.
2. Attempt to edit the published post using the "Update Post" feature.
3. Observe the failed PUT request and error in the console.

Error Logs:

• Console Error:

Impact:

• Users are unable to edit their published posts, which disrupts content management.

Possible Cause:

• The post _id is missing or set to undefined in the PUT request URL, likely due to incorrect state handling or failure to pass the post ID in the frontend.

Proposed Solution:

1. Frontend Fix:

   • Ensure the correct _id of the post is passed when initiating the PUT request.
   • Check that the component responsible for post updates retrieves and maintains the post ID properly during the edit process.

2. Backend Validation:

   • Add validation in the backend to check if the _id is present in the request. Return an appropriate error message if the _id is missing.
