WIG Edit Error

Hope someone can help.

 

I have built a WIG in URWIGO, played it through in the URWIGO emulator and saved the gwz file.  Uploaded to Wherigo.com and it is on the site and in my list of WIGs.  I clicked Edit to add the description and check the boxes for 'Make this cartridge available in the directory' and 'Cartridge is active'.  When I click "Save Cartridge Details" , I get 

An Error Has Occurred

Your request has resulted in an error. Please return to this site's home page to continue.

 

I go to home page and nothing I did is saved and the cartridge is not active.   I tried editing a different cartridge of another cache and it saved the edit fine.  Something is wrong with this specific file or did I forget a step since last year?  It would be nice if the Error message provided more info but I have been stuck at this point for a while.  I have also already tried redoing the saving gwz file and upload process twice so now I have 2 cartridges with the same name (since I cannot edit either one)  and neither work.

 

Any thoughts?  Thanks

Do you have line breaks in your description? Than you have to remove the html tags from Wherigo.com

Or maybe your cartridge is to big (max 20MBs)

Thanks so  much. You're a genius.  It was a single html tag for a line break.  I had be fiddling and researching for 2 days over that.  Now I know.  Thanks again!

For your (future) reference, here are some things that, in my experience, have caused/cause issues.

  • Line breaks and newlines that are not properly encoded.
  • HTML.
  • Command with the name "Debug".
  • Total file size exceeding 20MB.
  • Using setmetatable/getmetatable.
  • Having text in your cartridge that looks like a C# package name (I read about this; haven't checked in detail yet.)
