Solution: In this case the fastest way to solve the issue is by following this steps:
- Create a full backup of the site.
- Connect to the database -> in the wp_posts table delete the row with element ID = 7283
- Double check if the issue persists.
- Repeat this process if the error message appears again with another ID.
Note: Please don't forget to create a full backup of the site because if something goes wrong you will have to restore it.
