Checkboxes or theme previews not working (self hosted)

    So I have this strange issue: Some things don’t quite work on my self hosted wordpress site such as theme previews and check boxes (they don’t show whether checked or not) and I can’t figure out what could be. I have tried a different theme but no luck. I am hosting wordpress on Ubuntu behind another Ubuntu machine as a reverse proxy.

    Any ideas where to begin?

    Here’s my .htaccess file in case it helps:

    `# BEGIN WordPress
    # The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are
    # dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
    # Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Besides a custom theme, everything else remains default in wordpress.

    I have tried a different theme but no luck.

    Also try to disable all plugins. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install and activate “Health Check”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/
    It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
    On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
    There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/`

    @t-p Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried the above just now and no luck. I wasn’t aware of this plugin though so thank you since it may help with other future issues.
