 * Hi GeraldS
 * Before finding a solution to this I’d like to know if you get the error when 
   the plugin is not active?

 * The problem only exists when the plugin is active. When I deactivate it I can
   edit the post.

 * Hi Gerald, can you provide more information please?
 * Website address, version of the plugin and location the plugin code was placed.
   Also did you place any plugin short code inside the post?
