@osakawebbie Sorry to hear. But also thanks for the update. I guess I’m not alone, at least.

@osakawebbie Agreed about the PHP version. I too would like to see that * go away.

But more importantly, did you ever figure out what the issue was? I’m still having trouble. Looking for some kind assistance.

@dsb0328 Thanks for the prompt response.

I saw your previous thread and did try turning off the plugins, with no luck.

Thanks for the PHP tip. GoDaddy is the host for my site. It’s a cPanel. I logged in and found that my PHP version was out of date and updated it from 7.4 to 8.1. I am also using the most current version of WordPress, 6.1.1. My site was built with Elementor, and that is also the most up-to-date version, 3.10.0. That said, I am not using Elementor to update my PHP files. (Specicifically, I’m trying to update the header.php file.) I am doing it the “basic” way under Appearance -> Theme File Editor. I can save CSS file and the JSON files, but not the PHP files.

Even after updating the PHP version with GoDaddy, the PHP files still give me the same error message in the Theme File Editor.

In your experience, did it take some time for the PHP upgrade some time–several hours, 24 hours–before things worked properly for you in the Theme File Editor?

Any other ideas? So confused why this isn’t working as it should?

@osakawebbie , @threadi ?

@dsb0328 , @otto42 , I think you’ve dealt with a similar issue. Did you ever figure it out?

I am having the exact same problem as OsakaWebbie. (You are not alone!)

Plugins are up-to-date. Site health is good. Done a lot of trouble-shooting. But the above-described problem persists. Like the thread starter, CSS file saves without issue, but it is the PHP files that will not save.

I receive the error message: ” Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP .”

Has anyone figured out what the problem is to correct this issue?

Could it be something with the SSL or other permissions elsewhere?

Please help. TIA.
