# Master Slider "Save Changes" "Authorization failed!"

 * When I try to make a few minor changes (change URLs of slide links) to an existing
   slider and click “Save Changes” I get a message of “Authorization Failed!”
 * Troubleshooting the problem, I searched through all of the plugin’s files, and
   was unable to find “Authorization failed!” in any of them.
 * Someone else previously reported this problem but the topic was closed without
   saying if, or how, the problem was solved:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authorization-failed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authorization-failed)
 * I’d still be interested in a solution, or perhaps some more helpful troubleshooting
   steps than “deactivate all the other plugins to see weather it works or not.”
 * But if anyone else runs into this same problem, I can at least offer a work-around.
   I was able to go to the Master Sliders list of sliders in the admin area – /wp-
   admin/admin.php?page=master-slider – and from there, “duplicate” the slider which
   I am unable to edit. Then I can save it with a new name; make the edits that 
   I need; and “Save Changes” successfully. Then I can put the new slider ID in 
   the place where I insert the slider on my page and replace the old (uneditable)
   version for the new version.
