How do you edit and save?
Hi, in earlier versions there was a Save button for articles which meant you could adjust the text and change the status and date – then press Save.
In 4.5.7 there’s the new ‘edit’ button for making changes to the article, but no Save button if you want to change the status, date, category etc.
It’s possible a plug in is interfering with my Admin interface. I’ve had a quick look however and can’t see one doing that.
Do you now need a new plug in to recover the old Save button?

Re: How do you edit and save?
Hi James, there must be something wrong either with your cache of your install as the buttons are there. In the write tab there is a “publish” button for new articles and a save button for existing article. In the ‘articles’ tab. Click the more details checkbox at the bottom left.

James, can you post your diagnostics? Admin -> Diagnostics -> Low detail should be fine to start with.

------------------------I flushed the cache and disabled any plug in I wasn’t using or might affect admin – and the button’s still missing.
It did occur to me there might be a folder I didn’t ftp to upgrade. Because my last install was so outdated the current instructions don’t tell you to ftp the rpc folder – which didn’t exist in 4.05. I saw it was there in 4.5.7 and assumed it should be there. There might be another one like that.

Re: How do you edit and save?
rpc is optional, and it’s likely you’re using it, so you’re OK on that score.
Remove the textpattern/setup directory from your site, you don’t need that.
This sounds like a old or outdated cache issue. Can you clear your browser cache and see if that helps?
Also, this might help.

Re: How do you edit and save?
James, some of your plugins (probably upm_img_popper) injects javascript that could conflict with recent jQuery needed for txp. Try to globally disable admin plugins (preferences/advanced/Use admin-side plugins?) and force reload.

Re: How do you edit and save?
Also worth checking: A “Save” button is typical for Designer and Staff Writer ranks. They have these on new articles (or their own ones) and see no button at all in someone else’s articles (as opposed to a “Publish” button for members with more permissions).
Where do you have that “Edit” button? I don’t seem to have one, even on the Articles (list) page.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: How do you edit and save?
Thank you!
The admin plugins disable seems to have done it.
However: I wanted to use yab_copy_to_new which is extremely useful so I’m going to play with that to see if its OK….
