  • Check your browser’s developer console while on the Site Editor screen.

    Do you see any errors in the console?

    Looks like you forgot to include something.

    Sorry, the domain you uploaded the screenshot to is blocked on my network, so I couldn’t see the image. I’m just seeing it now on a different computer where I run a VPN.

    From your screenshot, several admin URLs are blocked due to “mixed-content”. This is when your site is accessed with HTTPS, but some URLs use HTTP.

    This shouldn’t occur on a fresh WordPress installation, so the cause is not likely to be WordPress-related.

    I see you’re using Cloudflare and their Universal SSL feature.

    If you have proper SSL working on your original server, then Cloudflare’s SSL/TLS should be set to Full (Strict).

    If that doesn’t resolve the issue, then temporarily disable your Cloudflare proxy (ie put Cloudflare in DNS-only mode), so that we can bypass Cloudflare’s proxy entirely and test what’s happening at the origin server.

    (Note: earlier I mentioned running a search on the database to replace http URLs with https URLs. This is not necessary and not likely to be the cause of this on a fresh WordPress installation.)

    Standing by.

    It works now, thank you!

    Glad that you found out the solution, It looked like an SSL error. isn’t it? How did you fix that? it will help new users to tackle with this situation in the future.
