Is this when you submit a form or when you try and save a form in the Form Editor?
Save in the form editor - it saves for a few steps but when i edit a bit more it stops saving
This sounds like it could be a PHP memory issue. I would suggest increasing your available PHP memory. If it works on really short forms, but quits working on longer forms that is because the AJAX is unable to complete because there isn't enough PHP memory. A lot of shared hosts default to a very low amount of PHP memory but it can be increased.
Here is an article on how to increase your available PHP memory:

I tried that but it aint working
I'm having the same issue. I have define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); in wp-config.php and I'm still getting the same message - "Saving form. Please wait..."
I am having the same issue, even after changing my memory limit.
Any suggestions Carl?
@gfgirl Simply adding the memory limit in wp-config.php doesn't always increase your memory, sometimes you have to update your .htaccess or php.ini file. See this article: http://www.nerdgrind.com/increase-wordpress-and-php-memory-limit/
@worldccc See above, make sure your memory actually was increased. There are plugins you can install from WordPress.org that will display what your available memory is to be sure.
@guevara Send us a WordPress admin login for this site via our Contact Us form and reference this post when doing so and we'll take a look.
I've been having a similar problem intermittently.
It appears to affect some field types but not others. For example, I can add text fields, number fields, and paragraph fields, but a checkbox field kills the form. It says, "Saving form, please wait..." forever. If I click away an "ajax error" pops up on the page.
Frustrating.
Same with multiple choice.
I submitted my issue through the Priority Support contact form with an admin login for you. Thank you.
@joethoron That is a MOD_SECURITY issue. Your MOD_SECURITY settings are blocking the AJAX request because it thinks it's a malicious attack. See this forum post, it outlines the fix and you may need to get in touch with your web host to implement it:

@gfgirl Thanks, we'll take a look and get back with you soon.
@gfgirl Your issue is the same as @joethoron's. It's a MOD_SECURITY issue. Your MOD_SECURITY settings are blocking the AJAX request because it thinks it's a malicious attack. See this forum post, it outlines the fix and you may need to get in touch with your web host to implement it:

Carl, thank you! I whitelisted the admin-ajax.php file in apache & I'm able to edit forms now.
Thank you! :)

Cool. Thanks for identifying that. It's been making me nutty but I haven't come into the forums to ask for help.
I have sent my log deatiails via contact us form, thanks in anticipation
@guevara If your issue is indeed the MOD_SECURITY issue the only solution is the only one you approached your host about. That is the only solution. If MOD_SECURITY is blocking the ajax request to that file, there is nothing we can do to resolve that. It's a web server firewall issue.
Your host is being overly paranoid. Plenty of users on the forum have had the same issue and updated their MOD_SECURITY settings to whitelist that file. They don't whitelist your entire server, just that single file. We have code in place on our end to prevent injection and malicious attacks using that file.
So whitelisting that file is not going to open up your site to hacks. But not whitelisting that file means Gravity Forms isn't going to work because the AJAX can't function properly.
Im having similar issues, I have a large form which won't update.
I get this message:
"There was an error while saving your form, most likely caused by a plugin conflict. Please contact us and we will be happy to help you get this corrected."
However, other forms save fine (not as large).
I have been in touch with my host and they state that they don't use MOD_SECURITY.
I'm a bit stuck!
It turns out I had a link in a custom html block. When I removed the tag and its contents it worked perfectly.
@Tom Tong what field type were you using?
Seems all remedies here focus on server side issues. However, I cannot create, edit nor save a form. I get the error "Ajax error saving form". The kicker is I am 1 of 3 people with access. We are all on the same network. 2 people have no problems. I get the error every time. Seems specific to my machine. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have updated everything and have tried using Chrome, IE9 and FireFox. I get the same error in all browsers. I have not encountered any problems with any other sites with ajax applications. Is there a possible solution out there? These forums have been no help at all. Still waiting on a response from the "Priority Support".
