 * I keep getting an error “failed to save webstory”. Nothing I do seems to be working
   and I’ve been trying this all day. Very frustrated. Is it something with the 
   latest wordpress update?

 * Hi there [@xxplumcrazeexx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xxplumcrazeexx/),
   thank you for opening your topic. Could you please open your browser developer
   tools and check for any [console errors](https://jumpshare.com/v/yXTCk3EGdkSubfHskZiw)
   where you see this failed to save error and share those details??
 * You can copy and paste the errors here or share a screenshot. You can use services
   like [JumpShare](https://jumpshare.com/) or [Imgur](https://imgur.com/) to share.
 * Additionally, let’s check for any plugin conflicts by troubleshooting with the
   [Health Check plugin](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/).
   This is like disabling all other plugins, but only for you, not for visitors (
   so nothing will break).
 * Can you please perform the following troubleshooting steps?
 * 1. Install and activate the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin
    2. In WordPress
   admin, go to Plugins and click Troubleshoot to enable [Troubleshooting Mode](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/#troubleshooting).
   This mode disables active plugins and switches to a default theme safely; this
   will not affect what your site visitors see, as it only changes the look and 
   feel of your website for logged-in administrators. 3. On the Troubleshooting 
   Mode page, under Web Stories, click Enable while troubleshooting 4. Go into the
   Web Stories Editor and see if you’re still not able to save. If saving is successful
   while in Troubleshooting Mode, re-enable your site’s plugins one by one by clicking
   Enable while Troubleshooting for each and checking the story again. This can 
   help us pinpoint if a particular plugin or theme is causing the issue.
 * Please let me know what you find either way and we’ll go from there. Thanks!

 * Here is a copy of the errors. I have no idea what any of it means.

 * I installed the Health check plugin and hit troubleshoot but nothing is happening.
   There is no “enable” button anywhere.

   There is no “enable” button anywhere. I have contacted my host and they aren’t
   seeing any issue on their end. Something must be conflicting because it works
   on my other blog with no problem.
