Error message when saving

Error message when I try to save my Wordpress site.

While editing the Wordpress site in Visual Editing mode using Divi development environment, I click on the Save button at the bottom right corner of the screen and a pop up window opens with an error message.

System Details

  • Local Version: 10.1.1+6939

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

This is the message:

An error has occurred while saving your page. Various problems can cause a save to fail, such as a lack of server resources, firewall blockages, plugin conflicts or server misconfiguration. You can try saving again by clicking Try Again, or you can download a backup of your unsaved page by clicking Download Backup. Backups can be restored using the portability system while next editing your page.

Contacting your host and asking them to increase the following PHP variables may help: memory_limit, max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_input_time, max_input_vars. In addition, auditing your firewall error log (such as ModSecurity) may reveal false positives that are preventing saves from completing.

Lastly, it is recommended that you temporarily disable all WordPress plugins and browser extensions and try to save again to determine if something is causing a conflict.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Hey @JRC! You could try editing your PHP values for your Local site and giving it more memory or a higher timeout limit for example. Some steps for this at the bottom of our Performance guide here:

As the error message mentions, it might also be worth ruling out any security conflicts if you have any additional plugins or device features that could be conflicting. If you’re not sure as a test you could try disabling everything except Divi and see if the error persists.
