sorry the expected result should be it will redirect back to the article

I can't reproduce this on Joomla 3.4.0 beta 3.

Editing article in admin then pressing save redirects back to the article.

Not 100 % clear but I think you meant the front end editing. Checked a blog layout/article list and edited an article and got redirected to the view I originally came from what I think is the correct behauviour. I used 3.3.6.

@Hils

I think the poster os speaking about frontend, not backend.

We do not use Save + Save & Close in front-end. Just Save.

OK - thanks - newbies need precise testing instructions :)

sorry wasn't aware that setting the state to "unconfirmed Report" will close the issue, have set it now to "information required". @eloelo22 could you please describe with more detail what you did, thanks!

I can confirm this behaviour on creating a NEW article but I would say this was expected behaviour as Joomla has no way of knowing where that article should be displayed
I can NOT confirm this behaviour on editing an existing article - on save I am returned to the article

Can you please test your site using the default protostar template to ensure that this is not a template issue

hi sorry for the unclear description here is what i did i log in to the joomla administrator and edited an existing article after which i clicked saved the expected result should be a redirect to the same article in edit mode but instead it redirects to my website index page same is true with clicking save&close

I can't reproduce the issue here.

@eloelo22 can you please confirm, your administrator template is set to one of default template (isis/Hathor)?

its the isis sorry been busy for a while

Hi!
I'm also experiencing the same situation with joomla 2.5.28.

• when i try to save / save & close / cancel a new article or re-edit an old article i'm redirected back to homepage and the article in not save; also the session remain open;
• when i open "gbobal configuration" try to edit the offline custom message then save / save & close / cancel i'm redirected back to homepage and also the session remain open;
• i open "template manager"/defaut template (Yougrids - Default) then proceed directly to save / save & close /close, i'm redirected back to homepage and the session remain open;
• however modules (and plugins) saving did not redirect to home page but to modules list as usual.

I saw this same post on STACKOVERFLOW and a user gave this reply:
"I have seen this happen because of two reasons: 1) a third party plugin could be causing the problem 2) you are using an old 2.5 template for administrator, try using Isis. Take a look at your php / apache error logs there may be a clue there if the issue lies with a plugin."

So i changed my default admin template from "Bluestork - Default" to "Hathor - Default", uninstall my JCE-editor but the same behaviour (redirect to homepage) still continues.
I check all log files to find any error message but nothing.

I would be happy if anyone could give an idea of the cause.
Thank you

i am the same person who posted the question on STACKOVERFLOW but the suggestions weren't that helpful at all that is why i decided to post it here hoping to solve the problem i can't update any content on my website

Try changing the session handler either to file or database but for sure don't leave it as none. Hope it helps

on the part of the session that remains open?

If this issue is regarding Joomla!2.5.28 only then, you should check this; http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5574-joomla-2-5-28-released.html

More, I have checked with fresh installation of Joomla 2.5.28 with both admin templates and not able to reproduce the issue. I doubt there must be some plugin causing this issue. Better to compare your active plugins against fresh copy of Joomla installation.

Before that you might do one thing; try to Global Check-In and check your issue against this step. I have noticed this type of behavior, when multiple admins are on desk. (This is just to give a try.)

The same problem occurs for 2 days in one of my Joomla! 3.3.6 installations. Save button works, Save & Close button deletes the /administrator string from the URL and then brings a 404 error.

@tecpromotion What did you change within the last two days? Any update off PHP or so?

any htaccess changes

@rdeutz YES, PHP Version Update from 5.3 -> 5.4 -> 5.6. Any ideas?
@brianteeman No htaccess changes.

My Problem is solved!
In combination with Git and another version level on the server it came to this behavior. Joomla! 3.3.6 reinstalled over it and everything works again as expected.

i guess re-installing is the answer by the way thank you for the help

It is completely unclear who still has an issue and in what circumstances. I am closing this and if you still have this issue on the current supported version of Joomla please create a new issue. Thanks

I just started experiencing this issue. I tried copying a fresh fileset but that did not help. I then looked for any error messages but nothing. Then I realized I made some mod_sec changes and voila. Below is the rule that was causing the problem. Not sure if it is too strict a rule or a coding issue, but there you have it, for me at least. DIsabling this rule problem solved.

Hi there.. I'm just newbie here and after searching so long about a solution to this problem i can tell that i couldn't find a solution.

I am just another one who is facing the above problem with J 3.4.8. i have tried almost everything with no luck. The strange is that the problem doesn't appear on my localhost but only when it's live on web.

Any help please??

I encounter with similar issue while path for tmp and log folder was not set properly. Setting path properly resolved the issue.

I had exactly the same problem in my Joomla 3.5.1 installation. The solution was to disable the "ModSecurity" feature of my space hoster as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29051850/1306012 [Date of link: April 09 2016]

I had the same issue (redirected to frontpage; on backend article Save \ Save & Close).
This fix for me was similar, but specifically, in:
WHM Home » Security Center » ModSecurity Vendors » Manage Vendors.
Disabling the whole OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set worked,

So then I checked,and it was 2 rules causing the problem:
rules/REQUEST-41-APPLICATION-ATTACK-XSS.conf
rules/REQUEST-42-APPLICATION-ATTACK-SQLI.conf

is there a way to correct this behaviour when editing in the front end?
