How many Articles are set 'Featured' ?
Is the default menu item 'Featured' ? and if it is then how many are set to show ?

Save failed with the following error: Invalid parent id.

No matter for the error message, article will be saved but won't get the asset_id.

I'm not sure if this is related with something gone wrong with the migration, but here's how to fix this error:

Login to Joomla Administrator | Select Menus --> Menu Manager | Click on the Check All box and click Rebuild

Now select Content --> Category Manager | Click on the Check All box and click Rebuild

Open Content --> Category Manager and click on the each top category to open it and then just Save it.

After you're done with the top categories, open sub categories and save them all one by one

Error message should be gone now when saving new articles.

In my case, it has only been necessary to open and save the main category and the error is gone. :)
