# Updating/Publishing failed error

 * I tried to search for this error, but it didn’t make me much wiser. Is it trying
   to use an incorrect path? I have WordPress 4.9.8 and Gutenberg 3.4.0, running
   on Apache.
 * This is what I get:
    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/2/autosaves:1 Failed to load resource:
   the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized) /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/
   2:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)

 * Hi,
 * It sounds like you might be using CloudFlare in front of your site, whom are 
   currently looking into reports that one of their rules is incorrectly blocking
   Gutenberg. You can find more information in the [sticky on the forum](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/known-compatibility-issues-common-questions-and-how-to-report-bugs/#post-10552036).
 * If you don’t have CloudFlare, do you have any security plugins installed which
   may be set up to block the REST API (it’s a setting)?

 * Not using Cloudflare or any other plugins, this was on a clean/fresh install.
   I suppose it could be a server setting?

 * It might be, yes, if you’d be able to check that up and let us know, that would
   be very useful.
