    Thanks for the update which I have applied. Unfortunately the backup of Files > Plugins still fails:

    SOMETHING WENT WRONG
    Oops… Seems there was an issue during the backup process.
    Please try again. If the issue persists, please contact our support team.

    I haven’t tried the download, obviously, as the backup failed.

    I have done the upload (log, screengrabs) to wetransfer but am reluctant to put the link on a public website as the log has a lot of info in it. Any other way to get it to you? Or can I look in the log for you?

    The .htaccess changes were from a popup of yours, saying add them if I had problems, which I did, and I think I’m right in saying my hosting service has just gone over to Litespeed, so the popup sort of made sense. Shanges were to add:

    <IfModule Litespeed>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=noabort:1]
    </IfModule>

    To confirm, I had two problems:

    (1) failed backups (some, not all)

    (2) when I tried to download the first successful backup, WP crached, email attributed crash to Backup.

    Thanks

    Thanks Joy. Though not a definitive answer, it does seem plausible – the IDs present during editing somehow getting locked in by the crash – so I guess I am going to have to leave it at that, unless it happens again, in which case I will pay more attention to what I am doing at the time.

    Thanks both of you for your help.

    Well, I am getting somewhere.

    First, the <span> background colour problem. Fell a bit silly about this. The Gutenberg editor opens (for me, but I don’t think it has always done this) with the paragraph ‘Colour Settings’ (immediately under Typography) collapsed and the lower down Inline Text Colour and Inline Background Colour Settings expanded and I ‘saw what I wanted to see’ ie a selection of colours etc but of course it did what it says on the tin, applies inline colours. If I expand and use the Colour Settings, I get the behaviour I expect.

    The other thing is this morning I am not getting any of the mystery id attributes added. I am trying to think if I did anything when editing yesterday’s post that was out of the ordinary, and I can’t think of anything.

    The only thing I do recall is that at one point the editor appeared to hang (I think while doing a preview) and the ‘Save draft’ got stuck (I think) as (greyed?) ‘Saving’. I had to restart the browser. I wonder if that somehow added the id attributes?

    Joy – no, I’m just using the standard Gutenberg editor bundled with a standard WordPress installation. Do you have a link to the discussion you mention, as there may be clues there, as presumably the bundled and plugin versions share code?

    Steven = yes, will continue as discussed.

    One of the unwanted things that appeared to happen because the style was being added to an inserted nested <span> tag was that each line had the added background colour, but there were white lines between the text plus background colour lines. Is there a way to upload images? If so, I can post one to show what I mean.

    Thanks again, and I will certainly proceed. Health Check sounds as though it will provide the sort of troubleshooting needed without blowing up the site while I do the troubleshooting. Will need to wait until tomorrow though.

    Hi Steven and thanks for the reply. No recent plugin additions or theme changes or even updates that I can recall, so seems unlikely cause and disabling plugins will temporarily disable features so only a attempted fix of last resort.

    The new additions aren’t visible on the published page, only in the source eg:

    <p id="block-c0eb6f5f-99ab-4597-a9aa-6665af41b3c6">Bla bla bla</p>

    Previously this would have been

    <p>Bla bla bla</p>

    The background colour thing (which I removed and added manually instead) appeared if I recall right to do this:

    <p id="block-c0eb6f5f-99ab-4597-a9aa-6665af41b3c6"><span style="background-color: #eee;">Bla bla bla</span></p>

    rather than

    <p id="block-c0eb6f5f-99ab-4597-a9aa-6665af41b3c6" style="background-color: #eee;">Bla bla bla</p>

    Problem is being an inline element it behaves differently to block level paragraph.

    Regards

    I have now moved this to a more appropriate forum (Fixing WordPress) and would like to delete this thread here as it is a duplicate, but can’t…

    I should add as it seems WP thinks I am using the Gutenberg plugin, I am not, just the embedded Gutenberg that comes with a default WP installation.
