More Saving Issues in 3.0.5

Consistent with a similar saving problem with a different site (v2.8.7), after upgrading to v3.0.5 saving a resource causes the Saving… modal to hang. If I interrupt the process by reloading the page the changes are in fact saved so it works… sort of. However, saving a chunk, tv, or snippet works fine, no hanging.

Looking at the browser console it shows a 500 error for /connectors/index.php which does exist. I have disabled all browser trackers/blockers, reinstalled, flushed, and cleared ad nauseam. I’m nearly at the point of deleting the entire site and database and rebuilding the entire site from a fresh installation.

Any ideas?

Most likely a plugin that runs on the event OnDocFormSave causes the issue.

Go to :gear: → " System Settings" → tab “System Events”, and filter the grid by “OnDocFormSave” to see what plugins run on this event (column “Plugins”).

Then (temporarily) disable these plugins one by one to see which one causes the issue.
(Under tab “Elements” → “Plugins” → “Edit Plugin”, there is a checkbox “Deactivate Plugin” to deactivate a plugin.)

Alternatively try to locate the PHP error log file and check what specific error message gets added when you try to save the resource.

(The PHP error log is NOT the MODX error log. 500 errors are usually not logged in the MODX error log. The exact path of the PHP error log depends on the server configuration and is different for different environments.)

Thanks @halftrainedharry , that was extremely useful. It was the SimpleSearchIndexer plugin.

The question is now what? Can I no longer use SimpleSearch?

SimpleSearch should still work. This plugin is no longer used:
