can not edit my blog
-
For me, it freezes when editing SITE PAGES – the new editor still works when updating BLOG POSTS.
I just was able to add a new PAGE in the new editor, but when I tried to update an old page it became non-responsive after a few seconds.

I have been primarily editing a post (not a page) that is published as ‘private’ or maybe it’s called ‘admin only’ in the new editor.
But I also did some edits to two other older, published posts and the same thing happens with them. Edit page freezes, during which time I also can’t go anywhere else – like if I click on another tab I have open I can’t go there, everything’s stuck til the popup error mssg comes up.
Once, inexplicably, the edit screen did NOT freeze up and the update went through as if everything was normal, so I thought the problem had been fixed. But that turned out to be a fluke, the edit screen has frozen every time since. It takes half a minute or so for the popup error mssg to come, then another half a minute to process after I click ‘continue’ then sometimes the same error msg popup comes back a second time but more often the edit screen starts working before that happens.
This is a bummer because of the ‘featured tag’ problem in another thread I am trying not to use the old classic editor to find out whether or not it has anything to do with THAT problem, so now I am stuck with this new editor and this is happening!

Ok this is weird!
I made a new test post – set to admins only – in the new editor. No problem.
Opened it and clicked lower right ‘edit’ popup to edit the way I usually do.
No freezing! Edit screen worked fine.
I did this 4 times, four successful edits.Meanwhile, my ‘real’ post still freezes up immediately.
I only published it a couple weeks ago Oct 27. Have only worked on it in the new editor.
The other ones I’ve done a couple edits today and gotten the frozen screen are older – published sep 13 and oct 3 this year. Published those mostly using the classic editor.Only difference I can think of is that the test post is only a few lines long, whereas my other posts have a LOT of text, plus some images.

i use chome. but tried in edge and firefox. it’s the same.
for me, one blog have the problem in all post, even new test posts.
other blogs are OK. -
Thanks, folks. We are trying to figure out the cause here so this feedback is helpful.
Are all of the pages you’re trying to edit rather large? Do they have lots of text, lots of images, or both?
-
My ‘real’ posts all have lots of text, some rather large photos, and all have an unusually large number of links to other posts on my blog. 2 of the 3 I’ve seen the problem on have lots of same-page jump – type links as well, but the most recent of the 3 has none of those yet. My site is instructional, and is also the main source of information on its topic so each post has a lot of links to other posts. The test post of a few lines that I made yesterday had none of that. It’s edit screen has never frozen any of the 4 or 5 times I’ve updated it. I do have a few old ‘brief notice’ type posts – I will go check to see if their edit page freezes up.

Well surprise – I just went to my blog for the first time this morning, and the editing page works for everything! (at least the two posts I’ve checked so far)
The wierd thing is that Firefox seems to have to done some massive update where everything on my screen looks totally different, my tabs are big and clunky-looking sort of old-school, and I’m missing some of the bookmark type tabs I usually have on my browser toolbar. But at least the main post I’ve been working on has no problem in its editing screen right now. -
A good thing –
This issue allowed me to find out about the classic editor, which I didn’t know existed. I guess it had already been “replaced” by the time I joined WP. The classic version is so much more efficient!Thanks, all!

@supernovia I’ve been working at my in-progress privately ‘published’ post off and on today and it is such a pleasure to edit now that everything is fixed! (kind of reminds me of a Yiddish folk tale about the man who came to the rabbi complaining about his noisy apartment — nevermind maybe not the best analogy!)
Anyway, THANK you and all the behind-the-scenes tech heroes for fixing this! -
