Well, it’s very easy… Ask someone who has some knowledge with other CMS systems, yet who is less involved in WordPress and see how they interact with the Gutenberg user interface. I think the concept behing Gutenberg is okay, but the way it’s being implemented is bad… Don’t spread things over several menus, because that’s bad UI. “Where is this setting again? Is it in this menu, in that menu? Maybe I need to click under this tab…”. It’s so unclear… Maybe not the best comparison, yet look at MS Word, MS Excel… Things that go around for ages. There’s a ton of functionality built in, yet most of the things are more or less grouped in the same place.

1. Start with grouping things in 1 horizontal menu at the top. Everything should be accessible from there.
2. Make sure people don’t have to click several times to get an action done or to find a particular setting.
3. Avoid hiding things under collapsible toggles. How? Make main tasks accessible from the top menu, more detailed things that go together can be shown in a sidebar section for instance…
4. The hover over different blocks seems buggy or at least not clear to me… You simply hover over a block, and the entire block should be surrounded with a border or light background color or so.
5. Finally, since Gutenberg is already out that long and people keep complaining about it, maybe it’s time to get some fresh brains in the core WordPress team… It seems there are some very stubborn people involved, who close their eyes for all the feedback from the WordPress community ??

Hi

Perhaps this may help?

I can confirm this. I also have similar problems as mentioned by Barcode99, after updating to version 2.2. The process shows “Creating zip archive”, without ever coming to an end.

Following ssiddiqi1’s advice should solve the problem!

You can ftp to your /wp-content/plugin/wordpress-seo/admin/ download admin-class.php to your desktop by ftp and edit the admin-class.php
On line 441, chanhe update_options to update_option, then upload the file to the /wp-content/plugin/wordpress-seo/admin/. Or, use the version 1.2.7 from your backup.

For those who still can’t access their WordPress backend, have a look at https://cool-tricks.net/call-to-undefined-function-update_options for a detailed solution ??
