  I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with WordPress. The “saving failed” error can be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the problem without losing your work. Here’s a detailed guide to help you:

  1. Check Internet Connection:

  => Ensure you have a stable internet connection. A weak or interrupted connection can sometimes lead to saving issues.

  2. Clear Browser Cache:

  => Clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Sometimes, cached data can interfere with saving changes.

  3. Disable Browser Extensions:

  => Temporarily disable any browser extensions or add-ons you might have installed. They could be conflicting with the WordPress editor.

  4. Try a Different Browser:

  => If the issue persists, try using a different web browser to see if the problem is browser-specific.

  5. Check WordPress Version:

  => Ensure that you are using the latest version of WordPress. Outdated software can lead to compatibility issues.

  6. Plugin Conflict:

  => While you mentioned you’re new to WordPress and don’t know where the plugin is, sometimes plugins can cause saving issues. To check for plugin conflicts:
  a. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
  b. Click on Plugins in the left sidebar.
  c. Deactivate all plugins at once by selecting them and choosing “Deactivate” from the bulk actions dropdown.
  d. Try saving your front page again. If it works, reactivate your plugins one by one, testing after each activation to identify the problematic one.

  7. Theme Conflict:

  => Similar to plugins, themes can also cause issues. To check for a theme conflict:
  a. Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-One.
  b. Try saving your front page again. If it works with the default theme, it’s likely a theme-specific issue.

  8. PHP Memory Limit:

  => Low PHP memory limits can lead to saving issues. To increase your PHP memory limit:
  a. Create a file named php.ini if it doesn’t exist in your WordPress root directory.
  b. Add the following code:
  memory_limit = 256M
  c. Save the file.
  d. Test saving your front page again.

  9. Server Resources:

  => Check with your hosting provider to ensure your server has enough resources to handle WordPress. Sometimes, shared hosting can lead to resource limitations.

  Remember to back up your work before making any major changes, just in case. I hope one of these steps helps you resolve the “saving failed” issue and allows you to continue working on your WordPress site without any problems.
