Title: Cannot delete menu items, cannot posts, cannot change widget Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Cannot delete menu items, cannot posts, cannot change widget * Resolved [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/) * When I delete menu items they are not saved: they appear again after pressing‘ save’. When I make a post it is not saved (not even in draft). When I change a widget – any change at all – and press save, it looks as if it is saved, but when I return to the page again it has not been saved. * I have followed previous recommendations: I have deactivated all plug-ins (did not make any difference); changed theme (did not make any difference).

Have you tried clearing the cache on that? * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6026818) * Yes, I have tried to clear cache. Also tried to re-install WordPress. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6026853) * Please post a link to your site. * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6026855) * [http://atiw.org/](http://atiw.org/) * I am trying to remove from the menu all the pages regarding the riding simulator. I deleted one page but of course that did not remove it from the menu – just shows ‘page now found’. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6026925) * Have you changed it under Appearances > Menu? * If that’s not working, please deactivate ALL plugins and switch to a default theme (Twenty Fifteen). * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027001) * Yes, I am trying to change it under Appearances > Menu. * I have now de-activated all plugins and I switched to the theme twentyf-fifteen, as sugggested above, but again, I cannot remove any pages from the menu. Whenever I press ‘Save’ they appear again. * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027002) * Something else is wrong: Having switched to twenty-fifteen theme, the menu does not show, and the correct home page does not show. I have changed the home page several times to different pages, but the home page continues to be a ‘post’ page, and not a static page (despite having ticked that box). So the setting is correct but the result is wrong. * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027003) * Correction to last post: the home page is now correct, showing the menu. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027006) * Okay, so it does seem to be working now? IF not, you DO still show a caching plugin as active: * * * Have you deactivated that plugin? * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027008) * The problem persists: I cannot delete pages in the menu. I did deactivate “WP Super Cache”. At least is it shows it is deactivated. * Thread Starter [jmofischer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmofischer/) * (@jmofischer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027009) * The problem is now solved. The hosting company had messed up entries in the php. ini file – and reducing memory to zero. I only discovered this accidentally. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-delete-menu-items-cannot-posts-cannot-change-widget/#post-6027010) * Oh my, that’s no good. But I’m certainly glad to hear you got it sorted out with them :)!
