    Out of pure curiosity I enabled the “Site Editor(Beta)” on a local test site. There’s a JavaScript error on its page:
    Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
    that point to this file:
    /wp-content/plugins/gutenberg/build/redux-routine/index.js

    Looking at the network tab I found a request initiated by this index.js file, and it’s URL is:
    mysite.com/?_wp-find-template=true
    However, the WordPress installation I’m working on is located at mysite.com/wp_test/.
    In the browser’s URL bar I see this address: mysite.com/wp_test/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gutenberg-edit-site
    So I think somehow the wrong URL is fetched.

    I have no WordPress installation on mysite.com. That’s a simple HTML page, which starts like this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Testing sites</title>

    I’m running WordPress 5.5.1 and Gutenberg plugin is 9.0.0. No other plugins enabled. Theme is TwentyTwenty.
