    Hi, and thanks for the support!

    When I try to modify or create a new Site (Dashboard-> Pages -> New Site) I get the above mentioned Error Msg.

    2 things I noticed:

    1. When I try to create a new page with the classic editor, I can publish the page, however this is unsatisfying to me, working with the classic editor.

    2. I installed Site Kit from Google. It sticks to “checking compatibility” However, when i check the box “Help us improve the Site Kit plugin by allowing tracking of anonymous usage stats. All data are treated in accordance with Google Privacy Policy” I get a red msg, saying that I am offline.

    I run a Bitnami Stack on Google Cloud Platform, however the Bitnami Support was not very useful and referred me to here:

    Thanks for any help provided!

    There could be a few different causes of the Publishing Failed error in the Block Editor. The new WordPress editing interface relies on the REST API to create, save, and publish posts. In the event that something is blocking or disabling this process on your site, you won’t be able to launch new content.

    So, first off, determine Whether the REST API Is Being Blocked. If it is, unblock it.

    Hi,

    thanks for your answer.

    Honestly, I don’t know how to check the status of the REST API but I did two things:

    1. I installed the plugin “Disable REST API” (http://www.binarytemplar.com/disable-json-api) and swithed everything on, checked, switched everything off, checked, but no difference.

    2. I installed also “WP REST API Controller” (https://www.yikesplugins.com/) did the same as above, but no change at all.

    Is there a way to definitly say, its working or not? Health check Plugin says, everything would be ok.

    Health check Plugin says, everything would be ok.

    have you updated WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME to reference https?

    Ok, that was the deal. I followed this guide to set the site url correctly from http://tent-life.net to https://tent-life.net

    now everythin works fine. thank you!
