• good day, after updating to version 5.9, i am able to login the portal, but when I try to edit any of my website pages, the live website is still visible, but I cannot make any changes. I get this error:-
    “The editor has encountered an unexpected error – attempt recovery – copy post text – copy error”

    Any ideas?

    Unfortunately no solution, but I am having the same problem for some days now (maybe due to the WP Update to 5.9 some days ago):

    Things I found as possible solutions but that didn’t seem to solve the problem so far were:

    -updating browser
    -cleaning browser cache
    -cleaning wp cache
    -disactivating all installed plugins
    -using troubleshooting mode of site health plugin

    When Installing and selecting classic editor I can access my pages in classic editor. However when changing back to block editor the error re-appears.

    Any additional ideas?

    As I think this might be relevant: I am using twenty-twenty theme

    We are using WEN associate Pro, we have also completed all the same things that you listed, and as yourself have had no luck.

    How were you able to change back to classic editor, I can’t see any options on my page when I select a page to edit, I can only see screen options at the top level where all my pages are listed

    Changing back to classic editor worked by downloading the “classic editor” plugin and the via settings -> writing -> Editor style

    I also think I figured out what my problem was/is.
    I am using images in some H1s of my pages (so the actual h1 is something like which WordPress 5.9’s block editor does not seem to allow (due to… reasons).
    I think I’ll hope for an update/patch and stick to the block editor so far as I do not want to change the entire site appearance due to this issue.
    Is this the same in your case? i.e., are you also having images as H1

    best
