Problems with deleting blocks and editing text

  • I need help, and I don’t know where to find it. A web developer built me a website using Enfold theme, and then went MIA. I’ve been editing it myself since then, but I’m having problems, and a friend who builds WordPress sites for a living couldn’t figure it out… so I’m coming here. I’m got some blocks on some of my pages that I can’t get rid of. For example, a Grid Row that I’m not able to delete, and on another page, some empty white blocks that I can’t delete. The ‘x’ to delete them is there, but it doesn’t do anything. I also can no longer edit text in one of the blocks – the changes I try to make won’t save. It’s like the page got corrupted somehow. Someone competent please help me.

    And be aware that not all blocks come from WordPress. Some come from plugins. If the problem is in a plugin, you need to ask at the plugin’s support forum.

    Hi Joy, this article lost me right away. How do I open wp-config.php? And that reference to “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging” means nothing to me. I’ve never seen that.

    Also how do you know if the problem comes from a plug-in? To my knowledge, I’m not using plug-ins on the pages I’m having trouble with.

    OK. This article talks about the DEBUG options.

    wp-config.php is one of the files in the WordPress installation folder. You can edit it using your host control panel File Manager, or use FTP to download, change, and upload it.
    Near the end of the file, it has a line with a comment that you mentioned to indicate where the sensitive part of the file is, so don’t edit below that line.

    Once you can see the javascript console, and it has errors, it will show what file the script came from. That can be a core WordPress file or a theme or a plugin. You can tell by the path of the file.
