Answers.Body: <p>This is quite complicated, but as @pkeogan explains above, it all comes down to your profile using a custom field. To see custom fields that are restricted to specific contribution types, go to Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Custom Data. Then you can see the allowed types for each fieldset in the Type column. You need to locate the one that your Honouree profile uses, but which does NOT include your contribution type in the Type column. (If you're unsure, go to Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Profiles, and see for the fields in your profile.) Then, on the page at Administer > Customize Data and Screens > Custom Data, click ”more” on the relevant row, and then ”Settings”. There, see for the label ”Used For” to choose the types you need.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>If the error still displays, then you most likely have an issue with a custom field in your profile.   I think  you have a profile containing a custom field that has a restriction on the type of contribution type and that the contribution page uses a different contribution type.</p>

Comments.Text: just to clarify, if you disable the honoree section, the error does not display?     It would seem that you have a profile containing a custom field that has a restriction on the type of contribution type and that the contribution page uses a different contribution type.
