permalinks not changeable (qTranslate-X ?)

    Heey

    So I can’t change the permalink of pages.
    There are pages that have been renamed but the permalink didn’t change.
    I can edit it, but after I press the “save” button and reload the page the change is gone.

    .htaccess is temporarily on 777.

    I just updated wordpress to version 4.4.2 today and also updated all plugins. I hoped the permalink problem would resolve itself in the process, but it didn’t.
    I also switched from mqtranslate to qTranslate-x today.

    If I change the permalink style it doesn’t do anything. Except if I change it to the option “simple”.

    I disabled qtranslate-X but was still not able to change the permalinks.

    I set up another wordpress installation on the same server to test this behavior. I didn’t install any plugin tho. When I renamed a page there the permalink stayed but I was able to change the permalink.
    Even after I installed q-Translate X the permalinks were still changeable to whatever I wanted.

    Currently installed and active plugins:
    Akismet
    BackWpup
    Broken Link Checker
    Contact Form 7
    qTranslate-x
    User Admin Simplifier
    WooCommerce
    Woocommerce & qTranslate-X
    Wordfence Security ( I disabled caching for the moment)
    wordpress Importer
    WYSIWYG Widgets / Widget Blocks

    If you can help me that would be great.

    some more additional information (since I can’t sleep anyway)

    I added more plugins to the second installation (the fresh one) and there everything works fine…

    Then I tried more stuff on the real instance.
    I deactivated all plugins –> permalinks are still not changable.

    So I then tried out what happens if I play around on the database. (of the real wordpress instance not the second (new) one!)

    So there was a page with the title “lorem” and a permalink “ipsum”.
    I change the value of the field ‘page name’ to ‘lorem’ the permalinks updated to ‘lorem’. So that works.
    If I delete the value of the field I can then set it via wordpress interface just fine (but just once, then its locked again)

    So I think this might not be a problem with .httaccess but with the database?! or a plugin preventing the change to be written to the database.

    ( I get no error but also no confirmation if I press the “save” button near the permalink)

    If this would be my personal site I would be fine by just changing the names of the fields in the database. But since its not my site and the pages will probably be renamed a few times till they settled for a title I would be quite fond if there is a solution to this problem.

    Is there a log somewhere I could check?

    I just found that my theme caused this problem!

    Already fixed it.
    I am stupid.

    // remove_meta_box( “slugdiv”, “page”, “normal”);
    => and it works ??
