I spent the morning actively creating a blog post and when I went to save, an empty green bar appeared across the top with no message but nothing else happened and the post was never saved and I couldn't even close the editor. I couldn't save for later or anything. It was frozen but I would just get empty grey boxes.

When I went to check my home page hoping it had worked, I could no longer connect to my site and my ip was being blocked for to many login attempts according to my host. It appears every time I hit publish it was a login attempt thus I was blocked. After they unblocked me, I would log in, redo my post and then the same thing would happen. 3 times I've had to email my host asking them to unblock me!

The thing is that when I say actively working on it, I mean there wasn't even a 5 minute time period where I wasn't trying to add a photo, link or editing something. I didn't stop typing or walk away but it appears I was logged out maybe.

I really appreciate any help.
Hi Karen,

May I know is there any specific steps that I must follow in order to replicate the issue? I just tried to create a test post on your site but it seems like everything is working correctly.

Please advise.

Thank you for your quick response! I recreated the same post today but published after I added each block to see which one was causing the issue. It was the gallery block. Once I removed the gallery block, I could publish but if I tried with the gallery block, I got the green bar w/no message and was unable to save. I didn't try to many times because I didn't want to get locked out of my website again but that was it. I'd like to be able to use a gallery though but can live with out.

Hey Karen,

I believe this could be due to the restrictions that is being imposed by your hosting provider. Perhaps it could be due to the post_max_size but to be sure, it's best that you check with your hosting provider why is the server rejecting such requests.

I updated the password with a new one. I'm locked out again though so can't test it! Let me know if you still have login issues.

Hey Karen,

Yep, I am 100% certain that this "POST" request is being rejected by your web server. This is what happens when I hit the "publish" button, http://screencast.com/t/arXdvd4sjc . There is a redirection that occurred and even if I placed debug codes in Joomla's index.php file, it doesn't go through that at all.

I would suggest that you get in touch with your hosting provider and get them to check this out. It's most likely due to false positive reports / post limit in the php.ini

Thank you Mark. I went back to my host and their response was this:

The poshlittle.com website is configured to redirect poshlittle.com to http://www.poshlittle.com. Based on the screenshot provided by StackIdeas, their theme/plugin has a bug and is incorrectly posting to poshlittle.com instead of http://www.poshlittle.com or a relative URL (see the blue outlines in the screenshot below), which is triggering a redirect and resulting in a cross origin access violation from the browser (see the yellow warning rows in the screenshot below). The theme/plugin vendor will need to update their software to fix this bug.

It has nothing to do with the redirection or posting to the non www . This is what happens when it is submitting to the correct URL:

- http://screencast.com/t/G0mbQbCyEW
- http://screencast.com/t/OD9AARxGG

Take a look at the second picture . The server is rejecting the post request
