Title: “Update Post” does nothing… Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # “Update Post” does nothing… * [rcdailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcdailey/) * (@rcdailey) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-post-does-nothing/) * Hey everyone, * I’m having a hard time pin-pointing this issue but I’ll do my best to explain, maybe this is a known issue. Also keep in mind that I am using Google Chrome ( latest Dev version). * When I am editing an existing post, I’ll modify the title, and add some text to it, and then click “Preview Changes”. A new tab in Chrome will be created showing the post with the modifications. I do not close this tab and switch back over to the admin panel where I was editing my post. Now I click the “Update Post” button. Nothing happens. It’s not publishing my post. What I end up having to do is refresh the page, then a red bar at the top of the admin panel says that auto-save is newer than the current version, and I restore the auto-saved version and then I can publish my changes again. * Anyone experience this issue?

I also found that if I add a space and remove it from the title of the post, it will work again. Not sure why changing the title fixes it… Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) The topic ‘“Update Post” does nothing…’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 1 reply * 1 participant * Last reply from: [rcdailey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcdailey/) * Last activity: [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-post-does-nothing/#post-1248476) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
