Title: Block/Visual Editor Doesn’t Work Last modified: May 11, 2019 --- # Block/Visual Editor Doesn’t Work * Resolved [Jim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwmc/) * (@jwmc) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-visual-editor-doesnt-work/) * The Block Editor is not working for me. When I try to create a new page, the ‘ +’ button is greyed out. Adding paragraphs does not add new blocks, ‘i’ shows only one block. * The Block Navigation button opens to show ‘Classic’. If I click that, a ‘More Options’ menu appears that contains ‘Convert to Blocks’. Doing that then shows HTML, e.g.: * ```

Can't create blocks
asdfads
aasdfds

``` * But the More Options menu has a choice ‘View as HTML’. * I have flushed all caches and tried development mode on CloudFlare. My user settings have a nickname and ‘Disable visual editor’ is unchecked, but I toggled those settings to make sure. I resaved permalink settings. * I disabled all plugins with the Health and Troubleshooting plugin. Nothing has worked. * In the javascript console for the edit page, the following appear: * ``` Request to access cookie or storage on “https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Serif%3A400%2C400i%2C700%2C700i&ver=5.2” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled. post-new.php JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1 load-scripts.php:8:542 onmozfullscreenchange is deprecated. components.min.js:12:80762 onmozfullscreenerror is deprecated. components.min.js:12:80762 Request to access cookie or storage on “https://cdnsure.com/assets/style” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled. post-new.php ``` * I don’t really understand this. I am dead in the water here – please help! WordPress is 5.2.

It was a Firefox extension called User-Agent Switcher. Disabling that fixed the block editor.
