# Pages not updated

 * Hi everyone,
    Wordpress does not update a static page when pressing the update
   button I see the website preview but I cannot see the changes and when I go back
   in edit mode the changes are lost.
 * This is what I have already tried to fix the issue but did not work:
    – Re-installed
   the latest wordpress version – Checked if cache plugins were active (no one is
   neither installed nor active) – De-activated all plugins did not work either –
   Switched to the default theme
 * Any suggestion?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi, you can check with another browser and / or clear your cache.

 * Hello,
    I have checked with Safari and Chrome (clearing the cache in both cases)
   but it didn’t work 🙁

 * You can debug to check for any messages
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress)
 * and check your htaccess, maybe something was added there

 * Hi, thanks for your suggestions.
 * I have followed both suggestions:
    – I activated debugging – I checked the .htaccess
   file following the link that you have sent me above.
 * However I was not able to fix the issue. I still can’t update my website pages:(:(:(
 * The only message I have got in the debug.log file is a warning:
 *     ```
       PHP Notice:  The called constructor method for WP_Widget in LoginWidget is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0!
       Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead
       in <my path>/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3718
       ```
   
 * Please, do you have any other suggestion?
    Thanks in advance.

 * I also manually upgraded wordpress to the latest version by following this howto:
   
   [https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress)
 * but I still have the issue.
 * Some other useful information are the following:
    – I am using the text mode 
   editor – When I press the “update” button I am redirected to the homepage of 
   my site not in edit mode anymore, whereas earlier (when update was working) I
   would stay in edit mode and have the update done. It is like changes are not 
   applied to the source file of the page.
 * Hope this helps for getting some help

 * Hi,
 * Yes I get this behavior also with the default theme (tried twenty eleven and 
   twenty fifteen).
 * This is my .htaccess:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```

 * The issue has been fixed!
 * **Steps to reproduce it:**
    1. Edit a page with the editor in text mode
    2. Press Update
    3. WordPress redirects to the frontpage **without** applying any update (the normal
       behavior would be to update/save the page’s changes and keep the editor in text
       mode).
 * **Fix:**
    - The problem is related to the hosting service, there was a ModSec problem 
      when updating the page (i.e. POST).
    - In order to fix it I contacted my hosting service provider and they added 
      an exception for my domain/host.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
