Cannot edit pages after update to 5.3

  • I recently updated to WordPress 5.3 and now I cannot edit any pages. When I click on a page or post, I get a blank page. Nothing loads. It does not help to use different browsers. My theme and all my plugins are up to date. Disabling all plugins does not resolve the issue.

    I followed the troubleshooting on https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/ and after completing Step 2 (Enable SCRIPT_DEBUG), I was able to resolve the issue. However, when I disable the Script Debug, the problem comes right back.

    When I do step 3 of this troubleshooting page (Ctrl + Shift + J), I get the following message:

    Uncaught TypeError: Object(…) is not a function
    at Module.341 (block-library.min.js:1)
    at n (block-library.min.js:1)
    at wp.blockLibrary.0 (block-library.min.js:1)
    at block-library.min.js:1

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘registerCoreBlocks’ of undefined

    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (post.php:2179)

    Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received.
    post.php?post=2154&action=edit:1

    Why does the debug only fix it for a period of time? I have two websites with identical themes and nearly identical plugins. The page editor of one works while the other doesn’t.

    I did as you suggested and the problem still persists.

    Do you use any custom editor? Block or meta? If yes, deactive and check again.

    (Custom blocks, Yoast seo, advanced custom fields or any other plugins that show custom setting in edit screen)

    I have been using the standard block editor along with the shortcodes that are provided by my theme, Evolve Plus by theme4press.

    I have Yoast SEO installed.

    It may a plugin made this problem, as i tested theme and everything is ok, can you disable one by one & check?

    I actually deactivated all of them earlier and it did not help. I deactivated several individually just now and it did not seem to help. I switched my theme to the standard wordpress 2019 and 2020 theme and it actually does solve the problem. When I change it back to Evolve the problem comes right back. I have another site running Evolve on WordPress 5.3 and it does just fine. I am baffled.

    Yes i also tested theme and no problem, try reinstalling it, may be helpful.

    I also had problems with the update.
    Classic editor visual.html switch is not working

    Yoast is not compatible.

    Did you do a backup before you updated it?

    Maybe you can rollback.

    I did and everything is working again as it should.

    I am waiting for the bugs to be fixed

    I use gutenberg, and dont use yoast, however you reported the bug and should fixed soon. ??

    I will try re-installing it shortly and let you know what I come up with. Thanks so much for all your help!

    @pherw106 go here and report(confirm bug) to yoast team:

    @farhadvn so I went to check on the website today and it is actually working again now. I have not updated any plugins since I talked with you yesterday. I continue to be a little baffled. I don’t know what happened in the last 24 hours that caused the pages/posts to suddenly start displaying properly again. All the plugins (including Yoast) are enabled and working properly, as far as I can tell. I wish I knew what caused this so that I could prevent it from happening again. Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it!!

    @newbie101 yes, my website is backed up. It is quite large so I didn’t want to do a restore until I was absolutely certain that I couldn’t fix the problem by a simpler method.

    I am also facing the same issue:-

    Please help this is my site https://www.aemcq5tutorials.com/. I need to publish my blog.
    I use Yoast seo, but i have tried disabling it and still facing same issue.
