I too would like to see that * go away. * But more importantly, did you ever figure out what the issue was? I’m still having trouble. Looking for some kind assistance. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Theme and Plugin Editors won’t save PHP files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/) * [hm2021](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hm2021/) * (@hm2021) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/#post-16360672) * [@dsb0328](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsb0328/) Thanks for the prompt response. * I saw your previous thread and did try turning off the plugins, with no luck. * Thanks for the PHP tip. GoDaddy is the host for my site. It’s a cPanel. I logged in and found that my PHP version was out of date and updated it from 7.4 to 8.1. I am also using the most current version of WordPress, 6.1.1. My site was built with Elementor, and that is also the most up-to-date version, 3.10.0. That said, I am not using Elementor to update my PHP files. (Specicifically, I’m trying to update the header.php file.) I am doing it the “basic” way under Appearance- > Theme File Editor. I can save CSS file and the JSON files, but not the PHP files. * Even after updating the PHP version with GoDaddy, the PHP files still give me the same error message in the Theme File Editor. * In your experience, did it take some time for the PHP upgrade some time–several hours, 24 hours–before things worked properly for you in the Theme File Editor? * Any other ideas? So confused why this isn’t working as it should? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Theme and Plugin Editors won’t save PHP files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/) * [hm2021](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hm2021/) * (@hm2021) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/#post-16360580) * [@osakawebbie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osakawebbie/) , [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/)? * [@dsb0328](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsb0328/) , [@otto42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/), I think you’ve dealt with a similar issue. Did you ever figure it out? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Theme and Plugin Editors won’t save PHP files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/) * [hm2021](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hm2021/) * (@hm2021) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-and-plugin-editors-wont-save-php-files/#post-16360434) * I am having the exact same problem as OsakaWebbie. (You are not alone!) * Plugins are up-to-date. Site health is good. Done a lot of trouble-shooting. But the above-described problem persists. Like the thread starter, CSS file saves without issue, but it is the PHP files that will not save. * I receive the error message: ” Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP .” * Has anyone figured out what the problem is to correct this issue? * Could it be something with the SSL or other permissions elsewhere? * Please help.
