WordPress 5.1.1 – can’t add images or custom URL

  • Shortly after installing the WordPress 5.1.1 update, whenever I add an image, gallery, or custom HTML block in a page, and try to save that page, I get the following error:

    “Updating Failed”

    As soon as I remove the image, gallery, or custom HTML block from the page, and click save, the page is saved with no errors.

    I’m troubleshooting. Disabled some plugins. Issue persists. When that didn’t work, I went to Cloudflare to purge all cache (just in case there was a conflict).

    Can’t even load any of the tabs: Cache, Speed, Analytics, etc. over at Cloudflare. I think Cloudflare is having issues.

    Unsure if it is related with the wordpress woes at the moment.

    Update: The Cloudflare issue was resolved. I purged the Cloudflare cache. Later, I turned off all plugins.

    I added a Gallery block with 1 image. Pressed “UPDATE” to save the page. The same error persists.

    At this point, I have to suspect it is a wordpress 5.1.1 bug.

    Another possibility might be the recent Redirection Version 4.2.3 plugin that updated the database — but I can’t see how that can affect the use of Gallery, Image, and Custom HTML blocks — and only those.

    Without those three blocks, I can post as normal.

    This problem started happening to me since Tue, April 23.

    Same problem for me on only one site which implies to me that a plugin might be the cause. I noticed that even with the error, my changes were saved. I have not tried uploading anything.

    The problem is Yoast SEO. When disabled, everything worked fine. It must be conflicting with some other plugin.
