Answers.Body: <p>I got this error because I worked locally, uploaded my templates to the server but did not import my local db to the remote db since I work with a team and needed to preserve the online, active db.  </p>
  
  <p>Therefore, I needed to recreate fields, sections, entries, and plugin settings on the server CMS, but I forgot to change the sectionId hidden  in my template to reflect what the new channel's section ID was.  On my local it was 13, but when I created it on the server, it was 12 and I just needed to change it in the code in the from like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="sectionId" value="12"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Hope that helps someone out there.</p>
