Unable to edit or create any pages/posts

This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

I just updated to the latest Gutenberg and am having the same problem. Just today. I haven’t added any new plug-ins in weeks.

James, I did what you said. I installed the plugin you linked to and in trouble shooting mode it said site health status is good, but that I needed to install the 2020 theme as a backup (I had deleted it months ago).

So I installed it.

Now my website is no longer displaying on the front end and it says, “There has been a critical error on your website.” https://www.aprilmackwrites.com/

Now what???

Dashboard still works fine, but I’m still unable to create or edit any pages, and my front end is an error message. EDIT: I tried going to my website in an incognito window and it still displays my website. But in a normal window it displays the error message.

Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

All plugins were disabled when I ran trouble shooting on Health Check (it’s the only plugin enabled/activated right now), which is still running, so I don’t think they’re the problem. Even with all of them currently deactivated I have the problem I stated in my last reply.

Dashboard functions normally. But when I try to edit or create a new page/post it still gives me an error message (as described in my first post), and since installing Health Check and the theme 2020 as it instructed me, now I get the “critical error” message at my domain as I stated above (it seems to be when I’m logged in, because in an incognito window my site looks like it always does).

So if I’ve understood you correctly, I don’t need to manually reset my plugins because they’re already deactivated.

Going to try going into my server via FTP now…

My theme was “catch-vogue” so I renamed that by taking out the hyphen.

Aaaaand now my site is totally blank in a normal window. In an incognito window, the elements are there (photo, text) but it’s a mess, like there’s no layout and it’s all just stacked on a white page.

I tried creating a new page via the Dashboard and I was able to do so without error messages, but my site still looks blank to me.

Does this mean there’s something wrong with my theme? They did release an update recently but for several days there were no issues.

EDIT:
I put the hyphen back so visitors can still see my site. The “critical error” still shows up for me since Health Check is still in trouble shooting mode, BUT I am able to create a new page! What in the world???

Can no one else help me? ??

I figured it out. It WAS a plugin. Apparently the Health Check plugin technically deactivating the rest of them was not the same as manually deactivating them.

I’m sorry I thought they were the same thing and didn’t follow your steps.

The culprit was the plugin “Progress Bars” by WPDeveloper. Too bad, because it did exactly what I wanted it to do. ??

I am also facing the same issue with my website hindi me how.
when I tried to update some of my articles, it shows an unexpected editor error.
