It could be an issue with how your browser is dealing with certain javascript code. If you have any plugins for your browser, you may want to try disabling those as well. * Thread Starter [pichgooshti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pichgooshti/) * (@pichgooshti) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2275855) * Hi ce_kevinw thanks for the response 😉 there wasn’t any problem till today as I mentioned, I tried disabling the plugins and I tried with 3 different browsers. * help 🙁 * [ce_kevinw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ce_kevinw/) * (@ce_kevinw) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2275858) * Hi pichgooshti, * I was actually dealing with this within Joomla the other day. Do you have any special code in your post? What if you try to save a post with simply the word“ text” in it, does that work? * Thread Starter [pichgooshti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pichgooshti/) * (@pichgooshti) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2275894) * Hi 🙁 I tried over and over again and finally one post published. but I can’t change it. I also can’t enable comments for this post and I also can’t save any thing in “all in One seo pack”. actually when I click on save, the post doesn’t change at all. damn it 🙁 will this problem solved with reinstalling word-press? * [ce_kevinw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ce_kevinw/) * (@ce_kevinw) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2275906) * > will this problem solved with reinstalling word-press? * If the problem is caused by a core WordPress file, upgrading may resolve the issue. If the problem however has something to do with data in the database, it may not. * Regardless of what you do, be sure to create backups first! * I am actually trying to help someone with a somewhat similar issue. Here was my hail marry pass to them: * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-publish-or-trash-any-posts](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-publish-or-trash-any-posts) * > I’m just thinking outloud now, things I would test. > The problem is that something as changed, and this changed caused loss of functionality. > Was it a file that changed? > Your WordPress files generally don’t change.

Can you try that to see if it helps? You may need to contact your host for the steps needed to do it. Here’s a link to an article that has more info however if you’re using cPanel or phpMyAdmin: [How to Check and Repair a MySQL Database](http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/website/website-troubleshooting/how-to-check-and-repair-a-mysql-database) * Thread Starter [pichgooshti](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pichgooshti/) * (@pichgooshti) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2276171) * Hi ce-kevinw I guess I’ve found the problem but I can’t find any way to solve it actually by changing my IP address by using a VPN or something, there’s no problem anymore. Is the problem referred to ISP or host? * [ljames7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ljames7/) * (@ljames7) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-save-draft/#post-2276245) * I had a similar problem with drafts not saving and even published pages not updating. I finally resolved it by looking in my html for none usable text in the javascript pop-up title fields for hyperlinks. A few of mine were way too long. As soon as I went into the html and shortened things, everything became operational again. Hope this helps.
