WP 3.8 causing issues with page updates

    Since upgrading to 3.8, my updates to my website’s pages are no longer working (90% of the time), even simple changes/additions of words through html. Note: I use Headway theme framework, and it is showing the updates in their Preview mode and is saying that I am saving correctly. I have purged the cache (Varnish) and checked multiple browsers.

    Any help, please? Anyone else having this issue since the WP update?

    Thanks,
    Tyler

  • Along with Varnish, do you have any caching plugins installed?

    Hi Pippin,

    W3 Total Cache is installed but not activated. Just in case, I re-activated it and purged the caches, but that did not fix the problem. FYI, in the past, I never had to purge the cache after making simple wording changes…

    Any other thoughts?

    Who is your host?

    DreamHost, via their DreamPress service optimized for WordPress (on VPS)…

    I am having a similar issue on lunarpages.

    It started (I think) when I was editing a page and my internet connection went down. WordPress said it was saving the page in my browser — I think this is a new autosave / post locking feature. Now I get 500 errors when trying to view the site and while I can click on settings in the Wp-admin area, I can’t click on pages (it just never finishes loading, though the left nav is still there) or portfolio. This applies just to my development site; the live site, still on 3.7 and in the same server environment, is unaffected.

    We are launching this site tomorrow so I will be rolling back to 3.7.* to get through it.

    If anyone has any insight, please share.

    Best Regards,
    Lucinda

    PS no caching plugins installed at all.

    @lbrown@trillamar.com – could you please start a new thread as per the forum guidelines –

    @tszabo Please completely delete W3 Total Cache from the Plugins page. Sometimes caching plugins will leave “cruft” behind that results in some caching still taking place.

    Looks like it was the Wordfence security plug-in. Not sure why it is suddenly causing problems. Brought to their attention…
