Unable to save new post after updating to WP5.5

    Hi there,

    I have just updated my website to WP5.5 and after that I have been trying unsuccessfully to save a new post or even preview it…

    When I click the save button, the butting changes in to the state of buffering but it stays like that for forever.
    When I click on view preview, a new tab opens but all I get is a wordpress logo and the text “generating preview” which also stays like that forever.

    I have done some digging and the most common solutions to this problem have been:
    – If you have a “security” plugin, try turning it off.
    – If you have any rules in your .htaccess that reference “wp-json”, then remove those rules.

    I have no security plugin, have no “wp-json” reference in my .htaccess file so this doesnt apply to me.

    ALSO: I am using the SEOpress plugin which shows this error after the update:
    Warning: Use of undefined constant SEOPRESS_PRO_VERSION – assumed ‘SEOPRESS_PRO_VERSION’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/customer/www/adventurespursuit.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-seopress/inc/admin/admin-metaboxes.php on line 185

    Can someone please explain what to do? I have no technical background so please be specific when you are responding.

    Do you mean downgrade?
    Aldo I had version 5.4.2 before the upgrade

    Hi,

    I see you meant upgrading the Seopress plugin to version 4.1.2 which I just did. I am no longer receiving the error that I received before.

    However the problem still persists that I am unable to save or preview a new post.

    Any suggestions?
