Updating Existing Posts in WP 5.0

[mattcaldwell]

Hello,

I have wordpress 5.0 running on most of my sites now and there seems to be little issues.

One thing I have notice is that I get an error when I go an try to edit an existing post. The strange thing is the auto save works and I can restore the auto save and update the post that way, but when I click the update button manually I receive and update failed error. Any ideas?

Best,

Matt

Hello Matt,

Thanks for asking.

Please try out following solutions and let us know how it goes.

1. Ensure everything is up to date according to our version compatibility list here. Please follow the best practices when updating your theme and plugins. Click here for more information.
2. If you’re using a CDN, please clear the CDN’s cache and disable optimization services.
3. Test for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third-party plugins, and see if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.
4. Remove custom CSS and Javascript from the options or Child Theme and test the case.
5. Reset your htaccess file by renaming it to .htaccess-bak. Then in WP Admin Menu, go to Settings > Permalinks and just click the Save Changes button.
6. Increase the PHP Memory Limit of your server. Click here for more detailed information and how to increase the PHP memory limit.

If you still have problems kindly get back to us with the result of the steps above and URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard using the Secure Note functionality of the post to follow up the case.

Thank you.

Hi Prasant,

The issue was actually to do with my firewall cache. I have resolved the problem now. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
