Cannot publish blog posts after update

Sure. Here's the post template:

Nothing comes up as an error that I can tell in the debug info:

SELECT u.*, r.* FROM perch2_users u, perch2_user_roles r WHERE u.roleID=r.roleID AND u.userEnabled='1' AND u.userID=1 AND u.userHash='d12509932e70d112290bcb048748cd6a' LIMIT 1 UPDATE perch2_users SET userHash='e99ec51631b1062d6635cff1ea6c1496' WHERE userID=1 SELECT p.privKey FROM perch2_user_privileges p SELECT * FROM (SELECT DISTINCT settingID, settingValue FROM perch2_settings WHERE userID=1 OR userID=0 ORDER BY userID DESC) AS settings GROUP BY settingID SELECT * FROM perch2_blog_categories ORDER BY categoryTitle ASC SELECT * FROM perch2_blog_authors WHERE authorEmail='gary@garyriverson.com' LIMIT 1 SELECT * FROM perch2_blog_sections ORDER BY sectionTitle ASC Using template: /templates/blog/post.html SELECT COUNT(*) FROM perch2_blog_comments WHERE commentStatus='PENDING' SELECT *

FROM perch2_blog_authors ORDER BY authorFamilyName, authorGivenName ASC

I'm not sure on that. I'll ask.

One photo is 62kb. The other is 480kb. I've tried with the images and text and cannot recreate the problem. I've also tried creating new posts with the same data as the draft posts that are having issues and those publish successfully. And I've tried changing a post from draft to published, which also saves successfully. So I can't recreate their issue.

And I've not heard about the issue reoccuring since. One thought I have is that their internet connection may have dropped out while editing/saving the post. But I don't know. I'm speculating.

I've just received an email that the issue is happening again, along with a screenshot.

We updated from Blog 3.9 and Perch 2.4.9.

I copied the example and plugged in our fields, but I've had a sudden realization that some of the fields, like author name, aren't assigned to the type="hidden". Also, when I reuse a field in the template, do I need to include the type and label attributes for the reused fields in addition to the original?

Like say this is my original field: <perch:blog id="thing1" type="text" label="thing"/>

And then I want that to show up somewhere else on the same page, can I just do:

<perch:blog id="thing1"/>

Or do I need the whole thing with type set to hidden?

Ah, ok. It turned out it was one of the author name fields wasn't set to hidden; always something simple I skip over in the docs it seems.

Thanks again for your continually fantastic support.
