Your attempt to edit this post: “post name” has failed.

  • Hey everyone, I have a big problem with my WordPress blog.

    When I try and create a post it says:

    Your attempt to edit this post: "post name" has failed.

    My blog is DeeVex and it just recently happened, it was working a while ago.

    I tried Googling it and it says you have to comment wp_enqueue_script('autosave'); in the post-new.php file. I’ve tried it and it still doesn’t work for me.

    Does anyone have any other solution?

    Thanks.

  • A recent case of this was found to be plugin related. Best bet is to disable all plugins then see if it works. If it does, activate your plugins one by one.

    Hmmmm. Didn’t work..

    If it just recently happened what did you change between things working and not working?

    Erm nothing… I just made a post yesterday and then left it how it is. I now come back today and find it not working like some sort of magic lol.

    Hello, I’m having the exact same problem. It happened after I upgraded to 2.82 but not right away. All was well for several days and then it just stopped working correctly. I was thinking it was a plugin but I tried to disable them with no luck.

    It’s a strange problem because you would think a post will either work or not. If it doesn’t post the first time what makes it post on the second try from the saved Draft? It doesn’t seem to be a permissions issue because then it would never Post at all. It may be some kind of bug but re-installing WP 2.82 + my theme doesn’t help either.

    I’m stuck…

    Try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. On rare occasions, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    I had this issue the day before yesterday and I thought it was caused by Wp Super Cache. The plugin author made an update to his code yesterday and then it worked again, until this morning when everything started all over again.

    It’s not the plugin anymore, so it must be something from the core settings. Any ideas?

    Hello,

    I just did the WP Super Cache update and my posts are working fine again! We are back in business ??

    Thanks infolegal!

    the installation im having this problem on has NO plugins. Not even aksimet. Going to try commenting out the autosave…

    Turning off auto save worked for me as per these instructions:

    lancelhoff.com/disable-wordpress-autosave/
    – it must me done on post.php, page.php, page-new.php and post-new.php.

    Turning off the plugins did not work for me.

    Autosave in WP Backup was the problem. Disabled it and all works fine.

    had the same problem, all active plugins where disabled for the upgrade (2.8.4a->2.9.2), and enabled again after.

    set define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); in config and video plugin was the first to ‘notice’.

    Disabled video plugin (0.71 at the time) and problem was solved. Must check if we really need that plugin and/or if the new version 0.73 ‘plays nice’.
