Every time I save I get this - "Error: This form has expired. Please refresh and try again."
How Do I?
Hi all, every time I make a change to my site I get redirected to this error page. I then have to refresh make my changes again and save. Then if I save another change, I get the error again.
Does anyone else get this problem or is there any way to fix it?
That error is related to the token form that is required on POST submissions. The reason is the token has expired and does not match what EE expects while submitting the form.
Do you get this on a form in your website or while saving something from inside the control panel?
It happens every time I save a template. It can be the smallest change in css/html and it will happen.
What version are you running? Did you check the server logs? Or EE logs for any errors?
I am on version 6.0.6 and the only logs I have are myself logging in, there are no errors. The only error I get is on that page I get redirected to.
Who maintains the web server for you? If there are no error logs in Expression Engine, I would start checking the web server logs and PHP logs. It seems like some session time out issue, which can or could be caused by a misconfiguration in your server settings.
What settings do you have as a session in your EE settings? Try changing that setting and see if it works.
Settings > Security & Privacy > Settings
Check the Session Type. If you have some browser setting that is erasing or blocking cookies, and you have the cookies option set, that might also potentially cause issues. Try testing a different browser as well, just in case.
Try disabling EE Add-ons. If you are sure this is not an issue with your browser and EE sessions, then its almost very likely a misconfiguration in how PHP is storing sessions in your server.
