    Hello,

    I’ve been running into an issue with my site being unable to save changes to Gutenberg pages. After doing some troubleshooting, it appears the Essential Blocks plugin is causing the following error to occur:

    “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

    I’ve looked at the developer tools, and it’s showing this in the console:

    syntaxerror: unexpected token ‘<‘, “<!doctype “… is not valid json at json.parse.

    If I disable the plugin and try to save the page, it works perfectly.

    Is this a known issue?

    Many thanks,

    Joe

    Hi Joe Jacks

    I hope you are fine today.

    Sorry to hear about your inconvenience. For detailed troubleshooting purposes, we may need some information about your site, so can you please reach us here and share the details? Our team will take care of the rest.

    Thanks

    We’re also experiencing this.

    Also, since updating from 4.4.1 to 4.4.6 when using Block Patterns in WooCommerce product descriptions the updating of the product takes forever and the CPU load spikes on all cores and remains high for 5-10 minutes.

    Edit: Upon further testing the above issue seems to have been introduced in version 4.4.4 and is still prevalent in 4.4.5 & 4.4.6.

    There are some excessive performance issues or infinite loop/update scenarios which are handled very poorly I’m afraid.

    @cpiechotta That would align with what I’ve experienced. It’s only recently, after updating, that this issue has occurred.

    The site I have Essential Blocks on doesn’t have WooCommerce but is experiencing the exact same issues that you’re facing. After trying to save, it seems to spike the CPU & it seems to put in a load of requests, which my server blocks as spam attacks. For 5-10 minutes, I get blocked from accessing all sites on the hosting plan.

    I emailed the details above a few days ago and haven’t heard back yet.

    I can confirm this, I also had many problems with slowness and WSoDs, the slowness and sometimes WSoDs happened when I tried to save the editions done in Gutenberg, I disabled it and now the backend saves and frontend loads fine.
