Failure to save edits – User permissions

Post by oceanswims » Wed Nov 13, 2024 12:01 pm

Hi

I have been attempting to update articles on my site, just a simple, one line edit. When I save, I get this response...
Screenshot 2024-11-13 at 10.56.10 pm.png
I am a SuperUser and the user number referred to does not exist on my site.

Funny thing, I can edit site modules and save them without problems.

I am using 4.4.9

Any advice, please?

Paul

The user with the id 461 must have once existed but has since been deleted. That is why the error message is displayed.

When you edit the article, go to the tab Publishing and change the creator of the article to an existing user, for example you.

https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/db-replacer/ might help if you have several by the same user?
