WordPress Website is unable to load the Gutenberg Blocks
-
Hi
I am unable to load the Gutenberg blocks on the website https://taxiservicesksa.com/ whenever I try to edit a page. When I try to access the WordPress dashboard, it says “your website has encountered a critical error”.
After fixing this issue now the default gutenberg blocks are not loading properly, it displays a blank white screen, when I try to edit a page.
Please help me whatever the issue is & how can I fix it?

The “critical error” followed by a blank white screen specifically when trying to edit a page indicates that while you fixed the initial crash, the WordPress REST API or the JavaScript required for the Gutenberg editor is still being blocked or corrupted.Here is the most effective way to resolve this in a single paragraph:The blank screen in the Gutenberg editor is typically caused by a plugin conflict or insufficient PHP memory that prevents the editor from communicating with your database via the REST API. To fix this, first navigate to Settings > Permalinks and simply click “Save Changes” without changing anything; this often resets the internal routing that Gutenberg needs to function. If that fails, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, deactivate all of them, and then try to edit the page; if the blocks reappear, reactivate your plugins one by one until the screen goes white again to identify the culprit. Additionally, you should increase your site’s “horsepower” by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’); to your wp-config.php file using a File Manager, as modern block editors often crash on the lower memory limits provided by standard hosting.

I’ve seen similar issues before. Sometimes plugin conflicts or outdated WordPress/core files can cause Gutenberg to fail loading. Clearing the cache, disabling plugins one by one, or updating WordPress usually fixes it.
