    I’m having an issue with WordPress where the Page isn’t Updating if the Visual Editor is Empty. Here are the steps I am taking:

    1. Go to Pages
    2. Click on an existing page to Edit
    3. On the Edit Page screen, Remove all the text from the Visual Editor so that the Visual Editor is blank
    4. Click Update

    RESULT: All the text that was just removed is in now back in the Visual Editor. The page was not updated.

    Solutions Tried: All plugins are Deactivated, Using the default TwentySix theme, Reinstalled Core WordPress files, Repaired and Optimized Database.

    I can successfully update the page with an empty post_content table within phpMyAdmin.

    Please help.

  • Hi @katart17,

    Please use Visual Editor as “Front Editor” of “Edit with Visual Composer” options to update the page.

    Hope it will work for you.
    Thanks.

    @dineshinau Unfortunately, I’m not using Visual Composer.

    I’m now thinking this is server problem. All WP sites on the server have this problem. I contacted the server admin but they can’t find why this error is occurring.

    We are using PHP 5.6 and MariaDB 10. Could this be a problem with MariaDB?

    I found the reason for this problem!

    LiquidWeb support found that the culprit was the suhosin PHP extension. They disabled the extension and replaced it with cagefs.
