Michael,
I have not changed theme to default but the problem seems to have resolved itself. Renaming .htaccess temporarily and going back to correct name .haccess seems to have cleared the problem. All posts, tags and permalinks functioning properly.
Many Thanks
Michael,
Did as requested.
The title does get saved in the wp_posts table.
(along with all the previous attempts at naming the post)
Also when in WP admin the title gets retained and can view the post preview with the post title and tags included therein.
What next?
Michael,
Did as suggested deactivated plug ins until no plug ins were active. This made no difference. I notice that in addition to the Post Title not saving that the tags are also not saved and are lost for each new post.
The actual post box edits are saved.(i.e post content)
Any more ideas?
Corkman
