I am so at a loss this time! Everything was working fine. I went to post an entry today, and got this error when I tried to save:

CODE
Building entry 'test' failed: Build error in template 'Date-Based Archive': Error in <MTEntries> tag: Error in <MTDateHeader> tag: You used an MTEntryDate tag without a date context set up.

I get the same error when I try to rebuild the site. It will say the same about the Cat-Based and Individual archives. I have recoded all 3 templates to match the MT default templates, to no avail.

However, an entry is listed for each time I have attempted to save it. I am not allowed to delete them (says I have deleted, but still shows the entries). And if I click on one to edit the entry, I get a "Load failed' error.

Additionally, on the main menu page, I get this:

CODE

This is the most baffling issue I have had. I have not changed anything since yesterday, so I am not sure what the cause might be.

I wouldn't worry about the HASH errors, but I would make sure your date tags are within MTEntries containers and all of your entries have dates (see this thread). If you've done that (or think you have), feel free to post a relevant template snippet (using the CODE tags) and we can check. The other option mentioned in that thread is the possibility of database corruption; are you using Berkeley or MySQL?

Does that help?

Hi Donna~
Two of the times I tried to save a new entry today resulted in entries without dates, but I am unable to edit or delete them. Everything else has dates.

Here is what my Ind. Archive Template looks like:

I have 2 entries without dates from the ones I tried to save today, but am unable to change or delete them.

Upon reading the thread to which you linked, I am afraid of db corruption; my comments stopped displaying on 10/31/03 with no known cause! huh.gif

Thanks for looking!

BTW: this is my site

*Just bumping*

Sorry, but having blog withdrawals.

Is this a lost cause?
