Editing issues

Okay, I had jumped in on this thread a couple of weeks ago. The guy was having a problem editing posts in his new WP 2.1 installation. I was interested in this thread because, after upgrading from 2.0.7 to 2.1, I was having the same problem – I couldn’t edit some posts. The answer to that guy’s problem was (as pointed out by Moshu) the “framebuster” plugin, so it was resolved.

However, this resolution did not work for me, as I do not have this plugin (in fact, that thread was the first I’d ever heard of it).

My issue is very random. I had only *one* post that I could not edit – all I wanted to do was change the category it was in. I let it go, because it was simply the one post, and I couldn’t find anything that I had done differently in that post than I had in any other – I figured it was a fluke.

However, now it’s doing it again – this time in a new post. Now it’s a doozie of an error though.

I had created the post, and decided I wanted to add more content to it. So I edited the post by clicking “Save and continue editing”. Instead of returning me to the editing screen in my admin panel, it took me to the archived post on the public site with no changes having been made (this is exactly what it did to the other post, the one I can’t change the category with).

I decided “screw it”, and copied the entire post. Then I deleted the post. Then I wrote a *new* post, and pasted the stuff into the post content area. I clicked “publish” – and I’ll be damned if I wasn’t taken to the home page of my public site – new post *not* added in.

It seems that simply because the content is repeated, it will not publish the post as a new one.

I’ve tried renaming it, changing the categories I’ve put it in, even logging out, shutting down my computer, rebooting, logging back in and doing it again – nothing. It will not post at all.

This is too weird to be a coincidence or a fluke – I think it’s actually some kind of bug or something, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what’s triggering it. It’s so random.

If anyone has any insight to this at all, I’d really appreciate any ideas. In the meantime, I’m going to try shutting off all the plugins, and maybe even editing the content a bit to see if it’ll accept the post. I’ll report back.

[EDIT] Okay – deactivated my plugins (all three – Akismet, Bad Behavior and Show/Hide content – still not posting. I’ve edited the content just a teensy bit – still won’t post it.
