    I was attempting to change the home page of the site temporarily. So I was going to rename the resource alias to something other than index and then publish a new holiday page. As I was swapping the alias I am guessing something has been corrupted because now I can't change the text in the content. I can change the html tags, but if I go to change the text in a paragraph I get the error.

    I was trying to find the table that the resource and/or content live in, but was unsuccessful in tracking that down. I would appreciate some help.

    UPDATE: I stumbled upon the table needed when i was backing up the db to update to the latest rev of modx. I am not used to phpmyadmin and didn't notice the pagination on the list of tables. I found the page and the content in the modx_site_content table. When I try to do an update directly to the table I get an error in phpmyadmin stating "Incorrect key file for table ./mysite/modx_site_content.MYI; try to repair."

    UPDATE 2: I was able to run a repair table on modx_site_content from teh phpmyadmin panel. Hope this helps another in the future, but currently problem solved. [ed. note: rhartzog last edited this post 9 years, 10 months ago.]

      FYI, the official way to change the home page (temporarily, or permanently) is to change the site_start System Setting so it contains the ID of another page. That way you don't have to modify the original home page at all.
