Hi there,

Just want to let you know that I got the exact same issue directly after updating WordPress + Ocean plugins. I restored to before the update and voila it worked again.

Thanks for suggestions. I’ve rolled back the plugin and theme to earlier versions and the issue is still there.

My PHP version is 7.4.29. Shall I upgrade to 8?

I’ve uploaded to PHP Version 8.0.19 and the issue is still not resolved.

Not! You don’t need to upgrade to PHP 8. I thought the problem was because of PHP8. I had a problem with PHP8 and ocean extra which affected oceanwp

Hi. I have managed to resolve the issue on my own. It turns out there were a few lines of PHP in my functions.php file that was causing the issues with the Appearance panel. I’ve removed those lines and the issue is fixed. (I have been using a Oceans WP child theme)

Hello @joefox,

I’m glad that you were able to resolve that.

Best Regards
