Hi Ryan,

I understand how frustrating it is to be locked out of creating or editing posts, especially when the rest of the site is running smoothly.

A “Critical Error” inside the post editor (often tied to the block editor/Gutenberg or autosave REST API requests) is usually triggered by one of three things: a plugin/theme conflict, a PHP memory limit exhaustion during content processing, or a corrupted database table/transient.

To help us narrow this down, could you please provide a few additional details?

1. Error Logs (Debug.log): Since you mentioned checking your inbox, could you share the exact error text from the email you received, or enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php file to paste the specific error traceback?
2. Recent Changes: Did this start happening right after updating a specific plugin, theme, or your PHP version?
3. Active Plugins: A quick list of your installed plugins (especially SEO plugins, security tools, or page builders that hook into the post editor) would be very helpful.

Quick Steps You Can Try Right Now:

• Check the Browser Console: Open your browser’s Developer Tools (F12) and go to the Console or Network tab while trying to save a post. Look for any red 500 Internal Server Error or failed AJAX/REST API (wp-json) requests, as these often point directly to the culprit plugin.
• Test in Incognito / Different Browser

Whenever you have a moment to share the error log or debug details, let me know, and we’ll dive right in to get your publishing workflow back online!

Best regards,

Adnan
