@fb2ts, thanks for that update! No, I do NOT have Jetpack installed.
That is interesting how so few others are having this problem… I wonder if it’s a plugin incompatibility of some sort? Or maybe it’s just one of those problems that few people tend to notice, even if they have it?
The plugin theory is a bit tough to test, otherwise I would have tried disabling all my plugins. Maybe we could compare notes instead, and see if we have any plugins in common?
Here’s what I currently have installed and active:
Akismet
Author Bio Box
Beaver Builder Booster
Beaver Builder Plugin (Lite Version)
Capability Manager Enhanced
Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd
Edit Flow
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
Instagram Feed
Make Plus
Nelio Featured Posts
Never Moderate Registered Users (<– this was installed in an attempt to correct the problem… needless to say, it didn’t work)
OptinMonster API
Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin
