This won’t help. these have been working without hitch until just recently.

Nothing. And the really weird thing is, it works on other sites. I have unplugged all plugins, and changed theme to the default, and it still doesn’t work.

I may have to go into the piklist code to debug. does pilist have its own save_meta routines?

i run my own server. I was running through Cloudflare but I’ve deactivated that. I’ve deactivated Cometcache. Still, just dead. Now it’s dead on all my sites. Even the Piklist settings page doesn’t save its settings. It reads them fine, but it doesnt save them.

Could this have something to with with the upgrade to .9.8 or whatever.
