Post editor seems to have frozen in Classic Editor

  • Above is an example of my reviews.
    I was trying to add a new review, using Classic Editor.
    Usually, I have a range of custom taxonomies, including actors, director, release date and so on, as well as regular tags.

    CURRENTLY

    I am unable to add any tags or taxonomy values.
    I can’t move the various taxonomy boxes around (usually, I can have featured image at the top, for example, but now, I have Custom Fields and Post Restriction at the top and can’t move them).
    I can’t open Screen Options – it highlights in blue when I click it but won’t open.

    However, I can open Screen Options in other areas of the dashboard (eg home page and post directory)
    And if I switch to Gutenberg, I can add tags (but I can’t find the boxes to add taxonomy values for actors and directors and so on).

    This has happened once or twice before. I can’t remember how it resolved itself last time. Is it a bug that will be fixed by the next update?
    Is it a box I need to tick or a setting I need to change?

    Even old posts (such as the one I’ve linked to above) show no tags or taxonomy values if I go into the editor now, although they show up on the published review.

    It seems odd that it’s specific to the post editor.
    Is it a problem with the Classic Editor (since I can add tags in Gutenberg).

    I hope to hear from someone soon as I need to post a couple of reviews!

    Thank you.

  • I have the same problem with the tags.

    Both new an old. Can’t see the tags. Can’t add new ones. And also can’t chose from list of most used either.

    I think this might have been down to a problem with updates of either the Classic Editor plugin or WordPress itself?
    I returned to a week-old backup of the website and everything was working fine – but I was then offered updates of both of the above.
    Does anyone know if the fault has been fixed, so that I can take the updates?

    I found out what it is about from another thread.

    It’s the use of old jquery. I had a plugin that was not updated to the latest version. When i did that, my problem disappeared and everything went back to normal with tags and everything ??

    Thanks for your update.
    Mine’s been working fine since a returned to a week-old back-up of the site, but it just automatically updated WordPress and now I’ve lost the tags again.
    I’ve updated all the apps, but to no avail.
    Any ideas what I could do? I don’t know enough about the backend to know what jquery even means!

    You’re welcome ??

    The problem lies with a plugin which has not been updated jquery-wise. Jquery is Java script. You can read about in their main post of solving these problems:

    If you go directly to this plugin and install that, it will tell you which plugin gives you the problem ??

    That’s how i found out which plugin for me was the culprit. I got it updated and the problem disappeared ??
