Thread

I just came across a very strange problem that I’ve never encountered before on an EE 1.7.2 site that otherwise works perfectly.

There is one specific entry that I tried to edit today and after making changes and clicking the “update” button, instead of the usual screen I’m taken to what looks like a publish/edit screen but there is no content on it at all.

Please see screenshot of the screen I get after I try to save.

The funny thing is the URL: 

index.php?S=0&C=edit&M=new_entry

“new_entry”?

Needless to say, my changes are not saved. The entry is stuck on its current content with no way to update it. It doesn’t matter if I edit the content or leave it exactly as it is. Whenever I hit the “update”, or for that matter the “quick save” button I get this weird blank page and no changes saved.

This only happens on ONE entry, as far as I can tell. I opened up some other entries and edited them and they were able to update fine as normal!

What would cause this one entry to stop working? I’m completely baffled ;-(

Any ideas?

Hi benek,

What is the entry’s ID and URL Title? - The url is very odd.

Do you have any third-party add-ons that change URLs installed?

Cheers,

Hi Dan thanks for the reply.

The entry ID is: 2581

URL title is: absolute-perfection

I don’t think there are any add-ons that would be changing the URLs. I use Structure for some parts of the site but not used here. I use .htaccess to remove index.php.

Like I said it’s only this one entry that has a problem as far as I can tell, and there is nothing that I can see that’s different about it than any others that work fine.

Hi benek,

Certainly odd! Let’s get in for a closer look. Be on the look out for an email from me!

Cheers,

Dan, just replied top your email with access info.

Hi benek,

Sorry for the delays. I’m following up with the team on your private email.
