 * Im getting SCRAPE NONCE FAILED errors on all wordpress 4.9.4. sites when i try
   to edit any .php file – whether its in child theme or not. all sites are hosted
   on SITEGROUND. I have De-Activated ALL plugins and reverted to TwentySeventeen
   theme and still get the same problem.
 * I have tested this on PHP v 7.1.1.4 and 7.2 with the same result. Siteground 
   support has made an attempt to check all logs, errors and configs and find same
   problems.
 * I have installed and run WP HEALTH CHECK with all plugins de-activated and i 
   get the following errors:
 * Background Updates: The WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE constant is defined and enabled.
   
   WordPress security and maintenance releases are blocked by define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’,
   false ); Loopback Request: The loopback request to your site failed, this may
   prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.<br>Error encountered:(
   0) cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes recei
 * I also have a few websites at GoDaddy, also running wp 4.9.4 and i cannot edit
   theme .php files there either but i get a different message – Unable to communicate
   back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You
   will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using
   SFTP.
 * Heres a image link showing example.. [Screape Nonce Failed](https://imgur.com/9L1fDxk)
 * Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
