Cannot save changes to homepage

  • Each time I make a change to the homepage and save it I get the following message:
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    This does not happen on other pages or posts.

    The site is: https://www.mrmen-books.co.uk/

    Any help will be much appreciated.

  • Exactly what changes are you trying to make – we need to see the code to see if there is an error their somewhere.

    Also, forgot to say – turn friendly errors of in IE, this should help you see a better description of what the problem is.

    Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Show friendly HTTP error messages (under browsing – untick this option and click OK).

    Thanks for your reply.
    I made the change to the HTTP error messages but I still get the same message.
    All I am trying to do is add a title and description which for some reason have disappeared.
    Any ideas?

    Are you adding the title and description through the Admin area of WP, or are you trying to hard code the changes in the file?

    Through the Admin area of WP.
    It works for every page except for the homepage.
    The strange thing is I don’t know why they are missing. I find it hard to believe that I missed it. I think that it might have disappeared..

    Ok, using your link above your homepage is visable –

    Mr. Men Books
    Everything you ever wanted to know about Mr. Men Books

    Unless we can either see the error that is being generated when you change this title/description, and the code that is used to generate the part of the page that shows the title/description (header.php), there is not really alot that can be done to help…

    In the WP admin area both the title and the description are empty.
    How do I send the code?

    This is the error that is being generated:

    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

    What you can try:
    It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet.

    Retype the address.

    Go back to the previous page.

    Most likely causes:
    ?You are not connected to the Internet.
    ?The website is encountering problems.
    ?There might be a typing error in the address.

    More information

    This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

    ?Internet connectivity has been lost.
    ?The website is temporarily unavailable.
    ?The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
    ?The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website’s domain.
    ?If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

    I am not sure what you meant by the code but this is the header.php

    <?php
/**
 * Handle the opening HTML and actions.
 *
 * @package Thesis
 */

# Added to appease certain plugins which check for this code in this file:
# wp_head();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">

<title><?php thesis_output_title(); ?></title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<?php wp_head(); ?>

</head>

<body<?php thesis_body_classes(); ?>>

<?php thesis_hook_before_html(); ?>

    Ok, so usually you would use bloginfo('name') and bloginfo('description') in the code to dispaly the name/description of your blog, but I can see that you have <title><?php thesis_output_title(); ?></title>, which would indicate a plugin is involved.

    What exactly are you trying to change the Title to? I’m wondering if it contains a character that cannot be read correctly.

    Also, you have a call in there – <?php wp_head(); ?> that would indicate yet more code being added to the ‘header.php’ file, it would be useful to see that code also.

    Thanks.

    Firsly, thanks so much for your help.
    I am trying to change the title to: Mr Men Books
    No problematic characters there.
    I tried to deactivate some plugins that were not in use but it didn’t help. The other plugins are in use on other blogs and I have no problems there so I don’t think it could be becuase of them but I have so many that it could be… ??
    I couldn’t work out how to find the code <?php wp_head(); ?>
    Thanks again,
    Nicole
