Title: Problems with post.php Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Problems with post.php * 764143 * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/) * Since I upgraded to 2.6, I seem to have some problems with post.php, namely: * – when creating a new post, every auto-save will be saved as separate draft in the respective section; after publishing the posts, I will thus easily have upto 15-20 drafts in my post list, * – after publishing a post, the automatic attempt to load the post.php results in a blank screen, same after trying to edit older posts, * – assigning categories to older posts does not work at all. * Everything else seems to work fine. Am I the only one who is experiencing this? * Cheers Stefan Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [iridiax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iridiax/) * (@iridiax) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-815802) * > when creating a new post, every auto-save will be saved as separate draft in > the respective section; after publishing the posts, I will thus easily have > upto 15-20 drafts in my post list * Are you using custom fields? I have this problem with 2.5.1, and I prevent it by saving the new post (clicking the save button) before I add any custom fields. * Thread Starter 764143 * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-815913) * > Are you using custom fields?

When making changes and hitting ‘save’, the white screen (or error #500) appears, and the changes were not applied. * From reading the forums, it seems like a lot of people are experiencing more or less similar problems since upgrading to 2.6. * Innocent question, as I don’t use WordPress for more than a few months: is that normal after an upgrade, or is 2.6 just a nasty one? * No intention to stir the pot – just an innocent question. * Thanks Stefan * 770832 * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-816066) * It’s gotta be permissions on the file itself, but I’m having the same problem trying to edit a post… and havn’t figured it out. * This also started after upgrading to 2.6 * [bighero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bighero/) * (@bighero) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-816126) * I also got a blank page in firefox after upgrading to 2.6 * Thread Starter 764143 * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-816129) * It works again. After nothing else seemed to help, I downloaded 2.6 again today, and performed all steps as during a normal version update (including opening the upgrade.php in the end). * That helped. 🙂 * [sidkhullar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidkhullar/) * (@sidkhullar) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-816223) * My permissions on [http://food.sidkhullar.com](http://food.sidkhullar.com), on post.php, post-new.php, page.php and page-new.php were -rw-r–r–, on giving execute permissions to all, namely -rwxr-xr-x it seems to be working… at least it’s saved 4 times in a row – something otherwise unheard of! * Sid Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Problems with post.php’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/post/) * [problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/problem/) * [WordPress-2.6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wordpress-2-6/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [sidkhullar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sidkhullar/) * Last activity: [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-postphp/#post-816223) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
