An "invalid format" error

  • Hi,
    when I try to modify any settings this error message pops up:

    An “invalid format” error prevented the request from completing as expected. The format of data returned could not be recognized. This could be due to a plugin/theme conflict or a server configuration issue.

    What does it refer to? How can I try to fix it?

    Thanks

    Currently the site is offline, I’m still working on it, but it will be available very soon, anyways the url is B&B Aurelia.

    I’m pretty sure about my server configuration, maybe it could be a conflict with the theme; i used this one.

    For any other infos, just ask. I need to find a solution, I’ve always installed iThemes Security on websites I built, and it’s the first time it happens a thing like this.

    Try and temporarily set WP_DEBUG to true in the wp-config.php file.
    This may help get some errors displayed on screen.
    If not check the web server error_log for any relevant errors.

    Lastly check the browser console for any javascript errors (unlikely but you never know).

    Also try and temporarily switch to the WordPress default TwentySixteen theme. This will tell us whether the issue is theme related or not.

    There are currently 4 different people (in 2 topics) reporting this issue.

    I think I know what is going wrong.

    However I do not have an env available that allows me to reproduce the issue. So I cannot test my theory.

    If possible please provide access to a test env that reproduces the issue.
