Hello,

The auto save enabled? The article has the same title?

[danpros]

Please test it again and be more clear (provide step by step) because I can't reproduce it.

yes, autosave is on, article had the same name, articles were ordered in Drafts queue, what was more, one of them was impossible to publish from drafts, only stuck there, so I clicked delete article.. ones of such examples was: I made both articles public. One had my own slug, another one had autoslug. What is more server is having some strange behaviour, do you think my provider had been invaded by hackers? Attaching pics:

The problem seems due to the post having the same slug. So it doesn't matter whether you use a custom slug or automatic, if the slug is the same then problems will arise.

Currently when creating a slug from title, htmly tries to check if the slug already exists and if it is already in use it will add the date timestamp after the slug. example: /post/already-used-slug become /post/already-used-slug-201408085034

This is not a bug but current htmly limitation because when editing the posts etc. it search for file that match the slug. In the future it can be developed further, for example by matching the categories, tags, author etc.

For server problems you should read the server log or contact/open ticket to your hosting provider.

So what is the solution without deleting the post? Just edit the post and change the slug and save. The problem should no longer occur because both posts now have different slugs.

This has been fixed in latest release. Thanks
