Alright, I’ve looked through every post I can find about this error and haven’t found any useful solutions so I guess I’ll make my own post.<\/p>\n

We have a dev site that has WordPress 5.0.2 installed and its running on PHP 7.0.33. It is a fresh install with 2 plugins but no plugins are active at this time. When attempting to create a page\/post it throws an “Updating Failed” or a “Publishing Failed” error. I also cannot preview anything but I think this has something to do with WordPress not having a save to pull the preview from so I think this is a symptom of the main updating failed issue.<\/p>\n

First I had issues with 404’s coming from the REST API calls but I ended up getting that resolved. Server logs are not throwing any errors at all after that. I am getting Javascript errors though:<\/p>\n

Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0<\/code><\/p>\n

redux-routine.min.js?ver=3.0.3:1 Uncaught (in promise) Error: [object Object]<\/code><\/p>\n

Those errors show up immediately upon loading the page.<\/p>\n

I get another Javascript error when I click the editor to start typing:<\/p>\n

editor.min.js?ver=9.0.6:12 Uncaught (in promise) {code: "invalid_json", message: "The response is not a valid JSON response."}<\/code><\/p>\n

The javascript errors have an arrow that expands to show more information but I’m not sure its very helpful information. Here is a sample of what all of it looks like:<\/p>\n

\tPromise.then (async)\t\t\nn\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\nc\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\n(anonymous)\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\n(anonymous)\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\na\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\n(anonymous)\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\n(anonymous)\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1\n(anonymous)\t@\teditor.min.js?ver=9.0.6:55\nn\t@\tdata.min.js?ver=4.1.0:1<\/code><\/pre>\n
and that sort of stuff continues for many lines.<\/p>\n
The network tab has all status code 200’s and 304’s.<\/p>\n
I’m using Chrome. I thought it might be some weird Chrome Extension thing but I opened an incognito window that has no browser extensions and had the same issues.<\/p>\n
I think I covered everything in here, let me know if there is any more information I can provide that may be helpful, I’m all ears at this point.<\/p>\n
