# Error Message When Saving a New Entry

 * On one of my WordPress installations, each time I save an entry, I am receiving
   a message that it cannot be saved because “A valid URL was not provided.”
 * I can hit the back button and click save and it will work perfectly. I am concerned
   that one day, I will not be able to save entries and this will fail all together.
 * What questions do you have to clarify what you need to know to help me?
