    This problem may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to deactivate all plugins and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme. If the problem goes away, re-activate them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to deactivate all plugins and change the theme for you while you’re still logged in without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    Older plugins and themes may not be compatible with higher versions of PHP. It’s the same reason you can’t use the first-ever version of Microsoft Word on the latest version of Microsoft Windows.

    The steps above will help you isolate exactly which one is causing the problem so you can look for a replacement.
