# Cannot Post/Update Posts

 * Hello and good day everyone.
 * I’ve stumbled upon a very problematic problem, and I hope anyone can help me.
   A few hours ago, we have discovered that we can no longer create new posts. Even
   if I’m the admin, I can’t publish new posts nor can I edit existing posts… This
   is very troublesome.
 * We have already removed the plugins that we don’t use. The plugins that we have
   activated right now are the ones working even from last week, and we could still
   create and edit posts then.
 * I have read that something must have happened to the php.ini in the wp-admin,
   but I don’t see that file in that directory. I tried installing wordpress on 
   my local PC and that file really doesn’t exist in that directly on a fresh install.
 * Anyway, more about our problem is that users can no longer publish new posts.
   Instead, they can see this [Submit for Review] button, yet nothing happens if
   they do click on that. I as an admin can still see the [Publish] post, but it
   only sends me back to the all posts page if I do click that button.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * I forgot to mention that before this problem started, I added php.ini in the [
   wp-admin] directory because I was searching for ways to increase the maximum 
   size limit of uploading images from 1MB to 2MB.
 * So I added php.ini with these codes…
 *     ```
       upload_max_filesize = 2M
       post_max_size = 2M
       max_execution_time = 300
       ```
   
 * However, it didn’t work, so I removed that file. Since I wasn’t the one in charge
   of posting new post content, I wasn’t sure when the problem happened.

 * Never mind… That was poor coding on my part. If I decide to remove a function
   in the [functions.php], I should remove ALL the code that I need to remove, and
   not leave some leftover codes… Gah…
