Unable to Save Post

  • Getting “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

    I get this error when trying to add an affiliate widget that has <script> tags.

    I am using the Automattic Adventurer theme. Bluehost was unable to resolve this issue.

    It may be a lot of different things:
    – a plugin conflict either 1) a plugin doing something that creates output, thus breaking the response or 2) a plugin doing something with caching),
    – an overloaded server,
    – misconfigured http/https address in General Settings,
    – blocking rules on your server
    – permalinks may need resetting,
    – theme/plugin conflict,

    Check Site Health: From your WordPress dashboard, if you go to Tools and then select Site Health, then under the Status tab on that page, WordPress will show you any improvement recommendations that could help your website. An issue related to Rest API could also cause the JSON response error on your website. Moreover, if you find any issue there, solving the issue might also fix the JSON response error for your website, etc.

    This is now temporarily resolved. There appears to be a conflict with the Cloudflare CDN in Bluehost. I had to disable the CDN to make the HTML work. Is there a workaround for this?

    I recommend asking Cloudflare CDN and Bluehost.
