# Cannot update settings

 * In the admin panel, Events Manager, Settings….I cannot update the settings.
 * After clicking Save Changes, I get a 404 page not found and the settings are 
   not updated.
 * I’m using WordPress 3.6.1.
    Events Manager version 5.5.2 Apache version 2.2.25
   PHP version 5.3.27 MySQL version 5.1.70-cll Perl version 5.8.8
 * WordPress is installed in its own folder with the main index.php file in the 
   public_html root (as instructed by wordpress).
 * I’ve tried the basics, and still get the 404
    1. Deactivated, then reactivated
   the EM plug-in. 2. Temporarily deactivated all other plugins. 3. Deactivated,
   deleted, re-added and activated the plugin 4. Tried switching to the default 
   theme 5. Repaired permalinks after each of these steps
 * The issue stayed the same, with a 404 on attempting to save the settings every
   time.
 * Debug gave me the following message when trying to save the settings page:
    PHP
   Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in: public_html/new/wp-includes/
   post-template.php on line 29
 * Line 29 is:
    `return get_post()->ID;`
 * The URL listed when I am trying to save is:
    /new/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type
   =event&page=events-manager-options#general
 * I’m using the Customizr theme, however, I switched to the Twenty Thirteen default
   theme and I’m still having the same problem.
 * Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

 * are you windows or linux server? and is this happening on the admin-backend or
   frontend only?

 * the url looks right to me…. not sure what to suggest because it seems like you’ve
   done the relevant debugging steps.
 * Are you sure you’re not using any other custom code or plugins here e.g. in the
   wp-content/mu-plugins folder?
 * Last step could be to enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php to see if that has
   any more info, otherwise I’d suggest reinstalling WordPress.
