Unnecessary Error Message Being Displayed
- by ThatMacLad
I've set up a form to update my blog and it was working fine up until about this morning. It keeps on turning up with an Invalid Entry ID error on the edit post page when I click the update button despite the fact that it updates the homepage.
All help is seriously appreciated.
