  • Press F12 to open developer tools and check console tab, most probably you will see errors which are causing issue to load editor. Otherwise try disabling plugins one by one to see if it solves problems. If you are using custom theme then comment out some of the recent changes you did which will help you quickly get to the root of the problem.

    Thank you very much for your answer. In the console tab, there are several errors loke this: Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED, but it’s all in Chinese to me… ??

    I just realized I connot even edit old articles. The text doesn’t even appear in the bodu?y box, just the title. Could it be connection problems? I am loading other pages w/o a problem…

    No it is most likely because of errors caused by some plugin. When you edit page the editor fails to load if there are certain errors. To troubleshoot, try disabling your each plugin one by one and refresh edit page until you find the plugin that is causing.

    To check if it is causing by theme or due to anything else, change your theme to one of default themes and try editing page. If you are able to edit, then your current theme is issue.

    I haven’t came across error like yours, post a link to screenshot of your console with errors.

    Hi Zorrohere!
    thank you again for your response. I have desacivated all plug-ins, one by one, but nothing. I am going to try with the theme. In any case, I attach here a screenshot so you can see the errors.
    Thanks again.

    Ok, here is the screenshot. BTW, my brother has been able to enter and edit w/o a problem, from a different location. I don’t know if that has anything to do…

    Have you tried using different browser? Or try clearing cache of current browser.

    Apart from that I can’t suggest anything else, maybe someone else should try to help you because I haven’t faced such issue to make right guesses.

    Good luck.

    I will try erasing caché… thank you very much!

    Any luck?

    I looked into it once again and problem can be caused by caching plugins like WP Super cache.

    Here is one thread I found on this topic. Quote from the thread

    This can happen when an HTTP request’s headers claim that the content is gzip encoded, but it isn’t. This happened to me just now on WordPress where I had WP Super Cache’s gzip compression enabled. Normally it worked fine, but when I dumped some content out before the page was properly generated, it screwed up the compression.

    Resolution if you’re the web developer: turn off gzip encoding or make sure the content is in fact encoded.

    so you have to try disabling gzip compression in you caching plugin to troubleshoot it. Clear plugin cache and check if it works now.

    I think you have to make sure that gzip compression is enabled on your server to enable gzip compression plugins. Contact your hosting provider if required.
