Hi Phil,

The first thing I would do is update Perch to the latest version - this might not fix the issue but that's what the Perch guys will say to try first.

Nothing - site has been untouched.

Something must have changed - did the server get upgraded?

What happens why you re-save the content?

Does the same happen in your dev environment?

Same after re save.

Just thought the error message might mean something to someone.

Its a 3 year old site. On typical reseller account.

That error is from the chars tag attribute, but the template you're showing us does not use that attribute.

Is this the right template?

Thanks Drew for persisting!

Ok that's it. I had a small template for the meta (below). I've deleted the description element with the 'chars'and all ok. To be honest cant remember what I was attempting there! Looks dubious! ~~~

<title><perch:content id="newstitle" type="text" label="News title" /></title> <meta name="description" content="<perch:content id="newsdescription" chars="160" append="..." />">

Looks like you're missing the type attribute.
