Use Friendly URLs will not save as "Yes".

Hello, everyone. I'm very new here and still learning my way around everything MODX can do.

I'm having trouble with FURLS. I have googled and still haven't been able to get them figured out. I have renamed my .htaccess files and I believe everything is in the correct folders.

The problem I'm having is when I'm in my System Settings in the Manager, I'm not able to get "Use Friendly URLs" to stay as "Yes". I can double click the entry and set it to "Yes" (and I did the same with "Use Friendly Alias Path" which worked just fine) but whenever I refresh or navigate away and come back, "Use Friendly URLs" is set to "No."

Anyone have any experience with this issue?

Be sure you click somewhere else on the page before leaving. I don't think the JS updates the value in the DB until you do. Also, wait for the little red mark to go away.

Worst case, you can always edit the value in the modx_system_settings table in PhpMyAdmin (change the value field from 0 to 1).

Sometimes there are quirks in the Manager if you've updated MODX or worked on another MODX site. Clearing your browser cache and cookies may help. Deleting all files in the core/cache directory can also help if there's a problem with the System Settings cache.

Also, check the MODX error log to see if there are any clues there to why it's happening.

My hosting uses LiteSpeed http server and it's the second time I find the same issue.
Some time ago it was working fine. The temporary solution is, as you said, changing the value using phpmyadmin or similar, but I think we have a bug there.

Do you have the compress_js and compress_css System Settings turned off? If not, try that.

It could also be a problem with mod_security, though it doesn't usually affect System Settings. Hosts often mess with the mod_security rules, then later adjust them when people report problems.
