    Wow! I got the Cheatin’ uh? notice, a thing unknown to me until today.

    Seems this notice happens (for me) only when using the Customizer.
    So: I’m logged in as administrator, viewing front-end > choose customize in admin bar > widgets > add widget > text widget > edit, click save, and – SHAZAAM!!
    -the lovely “Cheatin’ uh?”.

    I read in forums to update WordPress, I did, but the error still occurs.
    Any ideas?

  • I would try to isolate the problem by deactivating all your plugins. Then activate one by one testing the issues each time to find out if it is a specific plugin causing the issues.

    Also check whether this still happens when running the default WordPress 2017 theme.

    Thanks, I’ll work on it from the browser angle, and at the plugin/theme level.

    Thanks Mark and Otto.
    Using my default browser, Chrome, I went ahead and performed the routine deactivating plugins (two), and switched to the (parent) theme, Twenty Seventeen. Same problem: “Cheatin’ uh?”.

    Opened up Safari, works fine. Switched on the plugins and child theme – works fine.

    Back in Chrome, I deactivated The Great Suspender and, the world is right again.
    No more “Cheatin’ uh?”.

    Thanks for the fresh eyes. 😉
