# Template edits gets ‘Saving Failed’ error

 * I need/want to change the layout of my archive template.
 * On the server, I made a copy of the present archive template with the intention
   of making the changes using the visual editor. The edits seemed to be going OK
   but then it would not save – throwing an error message, ‘Saving Failed’.
 * Q1. Is this a WP ‘feature’, or more likely an environment issue? I have made 
   lots of template edits before, but not to the Archive template, or only in relation
   to headers and footers, or reusable blocks.
 * I intended to split the query loop into two; one with a single result and the
   other with a multiple result grid display with an offset of 1, all using the 
   existing archive settings. However, I see that when the existing template query
   settings are used, the control to set the number of displayed posts and the offset
   is not available. So,
 * Q2. Am I expecting too much for it to be this easy . . . and might this change
   in the future?
 * I am using blockpress theme with WP6.0.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftemplate-edits-gets-saving-failed-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I have just realised that I posted this in the wrong place. It was intended as
   a general WP 6 question. Sorry guys.
