Hello!

Running on Magento 2.2.5 EE.

Im trying to update the Copyright date in the footer.. Im getting this error message upon save. My changes are not taking effect.

PATH:

Admin - Content - Configuration - Edit (by store-view) - Footer 

Once I click `SAVE CONFIGURATION` I get this error message:

 "Something went wrong while saving this configuration: Area is already set"

Hello @nastassja_bertrand

This was an issue in magento 2.2.5.

To solve this issue you have to edit/override a file : vendor/magento/module-email/Model/AbstractTemplate.php

Replace its content:

public function setForcedArea($templateId)
{
if ($this->area) {
throw new \LogicException(__('Area is already set'));
}
$this->area = $this->emailConfig->getTemplateArea($templateId);
return $this;
}

From :

public function setForcedArea($templateId)
{
if (!isset($this->area)) {
$this->area = $this->emailConfig->getTemplateArea($templateId);
}
return $this;
}

Also attached link with issue : https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/225628/something-went-wrong-while-saving-this-configurat...

Hope this will surely work for you.

Hello @nastassja_bertrand,

On the Admin sidebar, tap Content. Then under Design, choose Configuration over there you will see your store list - Just edit the very first row from there where website name is also blank!

Edit that first row, click on save button!

then clear cache and check ! it might work for you!

Thank you!

Our eComm partners are the ones with access to the backend code... Im guessing that 2.2.6 will resolve this issue!!

Have a great day!
