can’t edit page content

    Hi, When I click on “Edit” at the top of the page, the next page that shows up has no content at all from the public view of the page. This is true not only for the link above, but for all the pages I’ve checked, so it seems to be a universal problem. I didn’t do anything beforehand that might have created this issue, nor have I made any kinds of changes over the past several weeks. I need to edit some pages but can’t?? Thanks in advance for your help!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    To rule out ant theme/plugin conflict, try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    Thank you for the information!
    Before I noticed the page editing issue, I had tried to update plugins by selecting all, but the box by each plugin that would normally fill in with a check mark stayed blank. I didn’t update them at that time. I just went back to the site to follow your instructions, went to the plugins in the Dashboard, and went to each plugin individually that had a newer version and updated them one by one. No problem. Then, I went back to the link I posted in this forum, and voila, all the text is back as usual.
    I updated the plugins before following your instructions because I hadn’t remembered the weird thing with selecting the plugins earlier. Once I remembered, and hearing from you that it could be a plugin issue, I decided to see if this would resolve the issue and apparently it has.
    Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

    You are welcome ??

    I’m having the same problem… I can’t add the healthcheck plugin, it seems to lockup when I try to add the zip file, and it locks up to add new plugins too… I can’t save my posts anymore too.
    It has been going on for weeks when WordPress upgraded… I’m going through it deactivates the plugins though… I’ll go and deactivate all of them
