Page Editing Help
I've recently inherited the management duties on a CMSMS site. I've mostly worked with other CMS packages before and I have run into an issue that I hope you can help with. I am attempting to add some code to the home page of this site and once I click the Apply or Submit button in the page editor module, my edits are completely ignored. I am unable to edit the page. Could the page be locked from editing? How can I fix this? Thanks for your help.

Re: Page Editing Help
Sorry for posting such a lame message. I should know better. Here are the details of this system:
I'm running CMS Made Simple 1.4.1. I'm using PHP 5.2.17, and MySQL 5.1.60. This is all working with Apache running on Linux 2.6.32-46.1.BHsmp On x86_64.
What I have done so far is to log in to the admin panel and go to Content>Pages and click on the home page's "edit" icon at the right side of the screen. When the editor comes up, I typed in some HTML code at the bottom of the existing content and click apply and/or submit in any combination. No matter what I have added to the page, the edits are not saved or displayed.
I'm trying to insert a YouTube video using the following code:
<__iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XO_7a2B-em ... r_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></__iframe>
If there's a better way to insert YouTube videos, I'd be fine doing it another way. I have also tried inserting a simple paragraph of text as a test. No matter what I do, the edits aren't saved. When I come back to the page again, it's as if I had not edited it at all.
Being an extreme noob with CMSMS, I don't have a clue what to look for. Can you help?

Re: Page Editing Help
1.4.1 is no longer supported, we are now at 1.10.3 and it is recommended to upgrade you site for security and user experience reason.
Your problem with youtube iframe is probably due to the fact that WYSIWYG will strip out and clean html code you enter.
Use a global content (Content -> Global Content blocks) for that and disable WYSIWYG, then copy/paste your iframe code into Global content textarea and simply enter Global Content tag in the page you want it to appear {global_content name='myvideo'}.

Re: Page Editing Help
For just regular paragraph text not updating, it sounds like the time zone issue (search the forums). But before you try to troubleshoot anything, upgrade. For the videos, there are one or two modules that make adding them a bit easier.
