Help! Post won't update

  • This is so frustrating! I have one particular post that won’t update. I just have some simple text additions — which show up in the editor after I hit “update” but don’t show up in the browser.

    I’ve exhausted all the obvious stuff, clearing the cache, deactivating all the plugins etc…

    The crazy thing is it’s only on this one post, I can update all my other posts and pages fine, and if I copy the code to a new post it works… But I want to keep the permalink so I really want to figure out why this post isn’t working.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Yeah that is the downfall, but I didn’t think it was possible to have 2 of the same permalinks. I deleted the page and then the post updated. The question I have is how did it decide to display the page over the post — maybe based on publish date?

    There’s more… you can also get these kinds of clashes with attachment pages that use the same name. ?? Your available options are:

    1. Use another permalink structure. It will be far better for you long term and I’ve never had any SEO issues with the date based structures.

    2. Tweak the title of the Page slightly.

    Good to know.

    I’m going to make sure I tweak any similar permalinks I have from now on. I really like the postname structure from an aesthetic point of view though — at least with client/business websites. With blogs or personal sites I’m going to use date structure from now on.

    Thanks for the help and new knowledge guys.
