# Block Editor not saving changes

 * We have a long-running WordPress site, we would like to switch from using the
   Classic Editor to the Block Editor. To this end we have switched from our very
   old Theme to the Twenty Twenty Theme – but when we edit Pages/Posts with the 
   Block Editor the changes do not appear to be saved – even though the editor reports
   that changes are saved e.g. a “Draft Saved” popup. We can use the Classic Editor
   to edit & save content as usual.
 * Things I have tried so far, without success:
    - disabling all plugins
    - using the TwentyTwenty theme
    - Running the Health Check (reports no issues, other than “should use persistent
      object cache” and “remove inactive plugins/themes”)
    - Emptying local browser cache
    - Empting CloudFlare cache
    - Checking for PHP errors logged (none shown)
    - Checking for Browser console errors on the Block Editor page (none shown)
    - Creating a new Page/Post as well as editing as existing Page/Post – this also
      does not save any changes, just shows as “Auto-Draft”
 * I have found a few other threads with similar symptoms, but none appear to have
   any solutions, e.g. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-or-update-posts-with-gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-or-update-posts-with-gutenberg/)

 * Does anyone have any ideas where I can look, or will we be stuck with the Classic
   Editor for the foreseeable??
 * Thanks in advance, Tom

 * Guess it seems like something going awry with the REST API, this url `POST https://
   www.swog.org.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8441?_locale=user` seems to have a good looking
   Request & a bad looking 301 & Response

 * Turns out server config was redirecting
 * `https://www.swog.org.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8441?_locale=user`
 * to
 * `https://www.swog.org.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8441/?_locale=user`
 * which was returning a 200 success without actually saving the content (which 
   the Block Editor interpretted as a successful save).
