Title: Posts/Pages not saving Last modified: December 30, 2016 --- # Posts/Pages not saving * [learning2bgr8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learning2bgr8/) * (@learning2bgr8) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postspages-not-saving/) * Hello, * I’ve been having this strange issue for about three weeks now. * **#1** I first noticed as I was writing one of my posts that suddenly I could not save as draft. When I clicked save draft I would be taken directly to the page with the list of post titles. And when I went back to check my posts edits,** nothing was saved. ** * **#2 **I then went to add a page to one of my menus and nothing I did could be saved either. **I could not add anything to my menu.** * **#3** So I started to see if I could change anything on my site, like upload a new theme, and I could not even to that!** I couldn’t change anything!** * My solution, well I checked this WordPress support and I can see so far are suggestions to deactivate all plugins. This is what I did… and well **NOTHING CHANGED**. Still couldn’t save anything and my website looks just totally naked now. 🙁 * I then contacted my hosting service and spent a good 3 hours with them as they searched and re-uploaded the WordPress core…. but with no avail. **Same !#$% problem. ** * So I coming to you guys directly. What could be wrong with my site? As far as I know, I have been very thorough with my site, **keeping with the updates and using a child’s theme, updating and activated and then deactivating all plugins…. So it not a plugin issue, nor is it a theme issue, because I changed that and still have the problem. * I have had this website since 2010 and never had a problem like this before. * It would be absolutely devastating if I have to delete my entire website and start over. I have hundreds of posts….** Please let me know of any possible solutions…. What could be the problem? ** * Looking forward to hearing from you.

I’ve been reading the link that you gave me and unfortunately I’m even more confused. Am I supposed to change something with my wp-config.php file? I don’t have a debug.log but I do have an error log and I see this – over and over: * [29-Dec-2016 15:35:30 America/Denver] PHP Warning: Unknown: POST Content-Length of 354 bytes exceeds the limit of 300 bytes in Unknown on line 0 * Could this be what’s wrong? – I’ve exceeded some kind of limit? * Thread Starter [learning2bgr8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/learning2bgr8/) * (@learning2bgr8) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postspages-not-saving/#post-8628075) * ok, I have followed the directions on this webpage: * [https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/increase-memory-limit/?utm_expid=3606929-94.Ie3dH-CaRwe6MU3VrZsdvw.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/increase-memory-limit/?utm_expid=3606929-94.Ie3dH-CaRwe6MU3VrZsdvw.0&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F) * … and after clearing my catch… I still have the problem. 🙁 * I keep looking for a debug.log but with no luck. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postspages-not-saving/#post-8628109) * try adding the following code to your wp-config.php directly _above_ /* That’s all, stop editing!
