Cannot delete menu items, cannot posts, cannot change widget

    When I delete menu items they are not saved: they appear again after pressing ‘save’. When I make a post it is not saved (not even in draft). When I change a widget – any change at all – and press save, it looks as if it is saved, but when I return to the page again it has not been saved.

    I have followed previous recommendations:
    I have deactivated all plug-ins (did not make any difference);
    changed theme (did not make any difference).

  • Do you have a caching plugin on your site? Have you tried clearing the cache on that?

    Yes, I have tried to clear cache. Also tried to re-install WordPress.

    Please post a link to your site.

    I am trying to remove from the menu all the pages regarding the riding simulator. I deleted one page but of course that did not remove it from the menu – just shows ‘page now found’.

    Have you changed it under Appearances > Menu?

    If that’s not working, please deactivate ALL plugins and switch to a default theme (Twenty Fifteen).

    Yes, I am trying to change it under Appearances > Menu.

    I have now de-activated all plugins and I switched to the theme twentyf-fifteen, as sugggested above, but again, I cannot remove any pages from the menu. Whenever I press ‘Save’ they appear again.

    Something else is wrong:
    Having switched to twenty-fifteen theme, the menu does not show, and the correct home page does not show. I have changed the home page several times to different pages, but the home page continues to be a ‘post’ page, and not a static page (despite having ticked that box). So the setting is correct but the result is wrong.

    Correction to last post: the home page is now correct, showing the menu.

    Okay, so it does seem to be working now? IF not, you DO still show a caching plugin as active:

    <!– Dynamic page generated in 0.271 seconds. –>
    <!– Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2015-04-19 12:53:54 –>

    <!– super cache –>

    Have you deactivated that plugin?

    The problem persists: I cannot delete pages in the menu.
    I did deactivate “WP Super Cache”. At least is it shows it is deactivated.

    The problem is now solved. The hosting company had messed up entries in the php.ini file – and reducing memory to zero. I only discovered this accidentally.

    Oh my, that’s no good. But I’m certainly glad to hear you got it sorted out with them :)!
