Why Are Pages & Posts Not Saving?

Have you tried:
– Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

Thanks Tara,
I’ve tried everything you have suggested.

I also tried re-installing the latest WP Version 4.2.2 both automatically from within the Dashboard and also manually via FTP direct to the root server.

Nothing seems to be working.

I’ve been advised that it’s possible that WP has a bug in the WP cron php part (which I know nothing about). Also there’s some thought on the permissions not being right as in wp-content folder needs to be 777 not 755.

Who knows?

Same problem – posts not saving and redirecting to /wp-admin/post.php (page not found).
This is on multiple sites.
Deactivated all plug ins
Changed to default theme
Updated to 4.2.2

@webbrewers,
As per the forum rules, please start your own thread. That way you stand a good chance of getting full attention to your specific issue. Despite any similarity in symptoms, your issue is likely to be completely different because of possible differences in physical servers, accounts, hosts, plugins, theme, configurations, etc. Thus one problem, on one setup is not indicative of the functionality and reliability of an application as a whole. So, please review how and where to post in this support forum: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post

@zaaax,
permission 777 is too risky to use. More about permissions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_File_Permissions

As far as “aunable to save page edits and post edits”, try adding this to your active theme’s wp-config.php file above the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line so it looks like this: define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);

Thanks Tara. I already did start another thread. Normally I wouldn’t piggyback on another thread but when the symptoms are very similar and the same troubleshooting has already been done I think it may help uncover the root cause.
Adding define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); didn’t work.

Hi Tara, Nope didn’t work, same problem as before.

Any save even trying to save an edit from within the theme options still just lag and won’t save, watching it makes me think it’s a jquery or responsive html5 or something or other type thing. The clicks happen but won’t activate the system, if that makes sense.

Hi Tara,
One thing I did notice is that when I click the update or save or indeed any other WP button (say the menu “Add Page” button) there’s usually an active “waiting for whateverthewebsitenameis …” notice in the bottom of the browser showing what’s happening.

After clicking now though there’s no indicator or bottom of the browser active notice of anything, completely bare.

Does that help?

I’m curious what host you are using and what version of php? I also noticed that dates are getting recorded incorrectly. I was able to save changes to post titles on 6/8, but the last modified date shows 6/6.

PHP version is 5.4.34

Those dates are wrong then aren’t they?

Yep…not a good sign. I was just able to change and publish one post and it shows published 6/6/15…

@webbrewers the php version you have is the same as I have?

My host is on 5.5 but I dialed it back to 5.4 – no difference. Since I am able to save/publish some posts, I’ve a feeling there’s some database corruption involved, possibly from the WP auto updates which can be troublesome. I did do a repair and optimize on the db without any effect.
