*No* changes are being saved in WP 1.5

Have you refreshed your page? Cleared the browser’s cache? In MSIE, hold down the SHIFT key and click REFRESH button on the toolbar. In Firefox, hold down Cntrl+Shift+R to totally refresh the page.

Do you see your changes?

Nope. (Using FF.) When my PW doesn’t get changed, I know it’s not a cache issue. Thanks though.

Hey,

If you look at your database using phpmyadmin, does it contain the tables to do with WordPress (usually prefixed wp_)? Do the tables contain any data?

Are you using Linux or Windows? Are you hosting it yourself or using commercial (or free) webhost?

One other thing – if you go to “Options”, does it show the correct WordPress Address and Blog Address (i.e. the ones you set when you installed it?).

Just a few questions to maybe give an idea of what might be going wrong ;-).

Yes, all the tables are there. Yes, there is content in them. I’m going with shared hosting from https://www.telana.com, which uses Redhat Linux. Yes, under Options the WP address is correct. I have:

https://www.brothelrendezvous.com:80/blog

I’m not entirely sure why the :80 is there, but removing it has no effect – changes are not saved. I put the folders and files inside the original ‘wordpress’ folder into blog/. (I did the same thing on another site of mine running an older version of WP and had no problems.)

I have found the same problem… ended up manually inserting the changes in the files myself..

Would be nicer if the editor worked better.

Krimson3 – what do you mean by manually inserting changes yourself? Your actual posts? Or did you have to change some default value in one of the tables to get it to work?

This is freaking crap.

I’ve removed all files/tables of my original install, downloaded a new copy of WP 1.5 from the website, made the config changes, and uploaded the files into the default wordpress/ directory.

Install goes fine, but still the same shit with not being able to actually edit or create anything new.

WordPress blows.

Let it be known that 99.9% of the time an isolated/individual issue occurs, it is related to the user’s server setup (IOW, Apache, PHP, or MySQL), not WordPress.

krimson3 has experienced the same issue. So while it’s not “isolated,” I believe it could very well be the way my host is setup. But that’s not something I can readily change.

In any event, I’ve installed TextPattern, and it works fine.

I had the same problem. I don’t know what kind of php-setup WP is supposed to run with, but when I changed my register_globals variable in php.ini from Off to On, it worked.
I guess WP doesn’t accept the POST variables sent by PHP.

I have the same problem and I can’t find s.th. with google. How do you solve this problem?

My configuration:
PHP Version: 5.0.0
Apache: 2.0.50
OS: Windows 2000 SP4

I tried it with register_globals on and off, but it doesn’t show any effect.
