Writing new articles
How come when I go to the “write” tab and compose an new article then click on publish, it is never saved under the “articles“tab? The articles disappears unsaved! This is a new development as the function used to work.

Re: Writing new articles
Have you tried to refresh the page (the ‘articles’ tab)? Or to clear the browser cache? Can you use phpMyAdmin to check if the articles are in the database?

I am so new to all this. Refreshing and cache clearing don’t work. What is phpMyAdmin?

Re: Writing new articles
Indeed, after writing a new article I clicked on publish (live) and the article disappears. Now I can edit already existing articles and save them with changes, but I can’t write, save or publish new ones. In fact, when I go to the write tab there is only a publish button. Shouldn’t there be a save button also?

Re: Writing new articles
For new articles there should be a “Publish” button, for existing ones, it is replaced with “Save”.
Do you give titles to the new articles? I think that they can not be saved without them.

I do my best editing after I click on the submit button.

Re: Writing new articles
Articles without titles are saved as well. In the ‘articles’ tab untitled is displayed in the ‘title’ column.
Julian, you can usually access phpMyAdmin through your hosting provider’s control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etcetera). It’s a tool to browse and edit your database. If you can find it, browse the ‘textpattern’ table, that’s where the articles are stored.

Hey, I tried writing a new article. This time I gave it a title (duh) and a body, selected a category and a section for it, clicked publish and voila… it works! Thanks to all for troubleshooting for me. As mentioned, I am new to this and appreciate all your help.

Yeah well, if you don’t enter anything I can imagine it won’t be saved ;) Glad you worked it out!
