# Posts wont update

 * I have had to switch off Classic Editor – which I found a boon – because it no
   longer preserves any edits I make to posts or pages after the most recent WP 
   update.
    I can edit as usual but the minute I press ‘update’ it spits me out 
   into the dashboard view of posts with all my edits lost.
 * Is this a temporary glitch that will be fixed or would I have to fix it myself?
   I’m hopeless at coding anything but the most basic HTML/ CSS tags and terrified
   of PHP.
 * Any reassurances appreciated. Thanks.

 * Nobody else suffering from this problem? I must be the only one then.

 * Has WP 5.2.1 changed anything?
 * Otherwise:
    1. Clear all caches (including the browser’s cache for your site)
    2. When you’re in the post editor, check for errors in the browser console
    3. Check error_log and wp-admin/error_log
    4. Switch to a standard WordPress theme and do 1-3 again
    5. Deactivate all other plugins and do 1-3 again
 * Let us know what you’ve found.
 * Good hunting.
