All page updates fail

    Hi,

    When publishing a changed page I *always* got “Update failed” at the top.

    After many hours of trying anything, searching a lot of fora, enabling WordPress logging (which didn’t show any errors) I was almost exhausted.

    Until I noticed that a dramatically high number of WP users had reverted to the “Classic Editor”.

    So, I installed the “Classic Editor” plugin keeping open the option which editor to choose.

    When I tried to publish a page using the Classic Editor everything went fine!!!
    So, I hate that I had to spent many hours, just to find out that the new editor is the culprit.

    My advice for people having this problem is to, at least temporarily, install the Classic Editor plugin, but with the option to also be able to use the Gutenberg Editor enabled.

    That said I am willing to help solving this issue, if and only if I get clear guidance on how to do that.

    Note about software versions:
    – Windows 10 Pro build 1809 64 bits version
    – Chrome browser latest 64 bits version 72.0.3626.121
    – WordPress 5.1 latest update
    – plugins:
    – Akismet 4.1.1
    – All in one Favicon 4.7
    – Classic Editor 1.4 (just a while ago)
    – Limit Login Attempts 1.7.1
    – Simple Page Ordering 2.3.2
    – TablePress 1.9.2
    – WP Mailto Links – Manage Email Links 2.1.7

    Afaict no further specific WP modifications anywhere.

    Best wishes,
    Arie

    Hiya,

    So the “update failed” message is often caused by the REST API not being available, it would be great if you could check if your theme or one of the plugins is causing a conflict here.

    If you have a staging site or similar to test on (the recommended approach to testing is to disable all plugins and use a default theme, and see if the problem goes away. Then enable them one at a time until the problem returns to find out what causes issues.

    If you don’t have a staging site, the Health Check & Troubleshooting is going to become your new best friend. It will let you use Troubleshooting Mode, which simulates this empty setup only for your user (and might even detect the cause of the problem wit hthe built in Site Status checks it also is able to perform).

    Hi, if I get some spare time, I’ll check if a plug-in is causing this.
    Thx!
