  Hi,

  I have an issue in WordPress. When I go to “Pages” and try to edit a page title by clicking “Edit,” I only get a white screen. Normally, I would make changes there (especially for SEO purposes using Yoast), but the editor doesn’t load at all. Interestingly, “Edit with Elementor” still works, but that’s not where I need to make the changes.

  what can I do?

  Hi there,

  Based on what you described, where “Edit with Elementor” works but clicking “Edit” shows a white screen, this usually points to an issue with the block editor loading, rather than the page itself.

  A couple of things you could try to narrow it down:

  1. Log out of WordPress.com, clear your browser cache, or test in a different browser.
  2. Check whether this happens on all pages, or only on this specific one.

  If you’re on a plan that allows plugins, it may also help to check whether any editor, SEO, or caching plugins are active, as those can sometimes interfere with the block editor.

  Hopefully, that helps; once you know the result of the above, it should be easier to pinpoint the cause.
