“Saving Failed” in theme editor.

  • I just installed a brand new WordPress 5.9.2 in a NameCheap shared hosting package, using Softaculous. While installing it, I chose the basic “twentyTwentyTwo” theme with the bird on it. This is a brand-new, unadulterated, unmolested installation of 5.9.2.

    When I first logged in as admin, I went to edit the default “Hello World” post but couldn’t save. I searched for a while and finally gave up on the default editor and installed the classic editor. I really wanted to use the new default block editor but oh well; I’d rather be able to actually edit so no big deal, but the first thing I wanted to do is Fail number 1.

    The second thing I tried to do was to update the header image on the theme. I edited a new image and then went to “Appearance | Editor” in the admin panel. I clicked on the image, chose to replace it, uploaded the new image and clicked [Save] and [Save], and I get an pink error bar that simply says, “Saving Failed”. The second thing I tried to do (apart from installing a plugin to fix the first failure) was to edit one image on the theme, and that immediately fails too. Fail number 2.

    So far I am 0 for 2 with WordPress. What the hell man!?!? I have now stopped trying to use WordPress until I can get it to function properly. I no longer trust it.

    Most of my client’s sites are on Joomla, and I’m trying out WordPress for the first time. I expect basic functionality to work after a simple install. I’m not yet into the guts of the application as I cannot get simple functionality to work out of the box.

    NOT IMPRESSED!!!

    I know this just sounds like a complaint – and it is – but what I really want to know is HOW DO I MAKE WORDPRESS FUNCTION OUT OF THE GATE?!?!?

    Update:
    The theme is installed as “TwentyTwoTwo” but is called “The Hatchery” in the theme list.

    Also, the issues seem to happen only when I have a multi-site installtion. If I have WordPress installed as a single site, then it works fine.
