Not able to edit posts and pages. Already tried all suggested fixes.

    Any ideas on how to fix not being able to edit posts and pages is greatly appreciated!

    Here’s the website I’m trying to fix https://www.amcnposolutions.com

    I’ve read a lot of the threads on this topic and have tried the following solutions:

    Updated all plugins.
    Disabled plugins, changed to a default theme, logged out and back in
    Reinstalled WordPress both manually and automatically
    Renamed the Plugin folder so it fully disables the plugins

    And the issue still has not been fixed.

    The thing that’s the most confusing is that I run the same theme, with way more plugins and the same version of WordPress for another website and it’s fine… Something I thought was weird was that two of the folders in this website were locked for some reason but my hosting company already fixed that. Not sure if that helps at all?

  • The locked folders is curious, suggests to me that some aspects of the hosting environment are out of control.

    Updating posts and pages is so much more about the database than files. Can you update any settings using the Dashboard ? Try changing something benign, like Dashboard > Settings > General > Time format. Does it save and when you navigate away from the page and return, did the change stick ?

    Suggest enabling debug messages, in your wp-config.php change this line to true:
    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
    You can do this either using your website hosting management file manager, or using FTP access.
    Now try and edit a page/post do you get any messages, alos check the errors log file.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your recommendations. I did the Debug true thing and I do get this error message:

    Notice: Undefined index: QUERY_STRING in /hermes/bosnaweb08a/b2081/nf.sumalifestyle/public_html/amcnposolutions.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/class.jetpack.php on line 2225

    Any idea on how to fix?

    Disable jetpack. Can you Edit / Add posts and pages now ?
    If not, what is the new error ?
    If yes, then proceed to Jetpack support forum.

    Здравствуйте, я не могу удалить страницы и вкладки в них, удаляю пишет что всё удалено страницы попали в корзину но на сайте они всё равно остаются. Как удалить ?

    I deleted Jetpack and I still can’t edit a page or enter text on a new one. Now there is no error message…

    I am having the same problem. I am also using the same theme on another site with no issues. Sparkling theme. I have tried all the same fixes as you have briabb. I started a thread on this earlier, but maybe we should talk about it here instead since it seems like the exact same problem that we are both having. I have no idea what started it. It didn’t seem to be associated with the upgrade to 4.0.1 since it was already happening before upgrading to 4.0 actually.

    Found this:

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/unable-to-edit-posts-amp-pages?replies=3

    Does this make sense as something to try?

    Edit your wp-config.php file to turn debug messages on:
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Do you get any messages now ? Either of you ?

    No- no change from turning on debug messages. But where would the messages be?

    I also tried addng the line define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’,false); as suggested in that other thread, but that didn’t do anything either

    The errors will be in the file “error_log” in the root (top level of the website, this is probably “public_html”.
    Please see if you have this file, and see what it says.

    Ross, thanks so much for your suggestions – much appreciated! I can’t find a file called error_log in the site root or in any of the WP directories.

    That mostly applies to CPanel hosting.. Error logs will be found in /etc/logs …. etc.. If you do not see your log files you may have to ask your hosting company

    Maybe I should restore the site from a backup? Do you think that would work?

    I called my webhost – Aplus.net to ask about where to find error log and they informed me that they are having a global server problem will affecting all their customers using WordPress. They are working to resolve the issue and say it should be fixed in 24-48 hours.

    Thanks Ross and Justin for you help!

    This solved it for me (hopefully) How about you briabb?

    Glad your sight is working tagteachjoan! Mine still is not. I installed a plugin called error log monitor to view my error logs and the last error I got was related to a plugin, which I disabled but I’m still not able to edit any pages or posts… I’m using Netfirms as my host so it sounds as though the CPanl issue wouldn’t apply to me?
