# Update button not working on certain posts

 * For some reason, some of my posts will no longer update. The button is there,
   but clicking it does nothing.
 * It’s only certain posts. It is a CPT with custom fields, but posts under the 
   same CPT with the same custom fields do update.
 * Chrome shows the below error associated with **post.php?post=171997&action=edit:
   1** – it appears right after clicking the Update button:
 * **An invalid form control with name=’xmlsf_priority’ is not focusable.**
 * Oddly, my test site with identical theme, plugins, etc. works just fine.
 * Wordpress 5.2

 * UPDATE: After much debugging, I finally traced this issue to a plugin called “
   XML Sitemap & Google News.” After deactivating the plugin, it resolved this issue.
   Reactivating it caused the issue to return.
