(I managed to catch Pm on chat and he diagnosed it in seconds.) In my case, I narrowed it down to the word "open" about 300 words in. Earlier or later was fine, but not there. Diagnosis: php security module was being over-cautious. It could be a php script trying to open a file it shouldn't!! Work-around: replace the offending word with op[=en=] . The extra characters tell PmWiki to send the contents through without interpreting them. (Normally used for showing wiki-text in the documentation.) Full fix: Set up a separate page showing the problem in the wiki for my host's support team and send them details of problem and diagnosis. Not sure what they did, but it my access logs show it took them 20 minutes and four tries.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it with my hosting provider. I'd think there would be an error message at some point, which I'm not getting.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Changes not being saved - more information
Hi again Kevin, I just looked back at the emails that I exchanged with my domain host and realized that the problem I had with saving posts was with Wordpress and not with Pmwiki in this case. Sorry for the misinformation. However, increasing your php memory might still help, as the situation seems (to my untrained eye) to be similar. Can anyone confirm that this might be a good solution for Kevin? At the very least, I think it is worth trying. Shaney.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Changes not being saved - more information
Hi Kevin, I had the same problem and it had to do with the amount of php memory that my domain host had alloted to me. I got them to increase the memory to 32 MB and the problem went away. Hope this helps. Shaney. On 6/25/07, Kevin Hayes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I got no response last time, so I'll post again, with a bit of new > information.
