Gutenburg doesn’t really function properly

    So I have been trying out Gutenburg for the last couple of months now and all the time it is filled with errors, if I make a new post or page it states that it can’t save, if I try to publish it can’t publish and making me lose all the content.

    This with many other problems at hand, I now finally decided to roll back to the classic editor as this was getting a bit too troublesome for my client.

    Are these known bugs in terms of auto saving and publishing? If so then I am glad that these are known, if not I will provide some in depth insight into the problem if requested.

    Thanks in advance for further information.

  • Hi @rafaeldejongh, I’m really sorry to hear you were losing content, that’s definitely a bug.

    I’ve heard some other reports of that, but haven’t been able to reproduce it yet. I suspect it may be a conflict with other plugins, but if you could provide those details that would definitely help.

    If we can figure out how to reproduce it, then that’s the first step in getting it fixed.

    Okay so this happened on both an older installation that was updated with WordPress in the years and on a complete new installation of WordPress with Gutenburg in preperation of the new update. Both had similar yet different setups but here’s a list.

    Old yet updated WordPress with Gutenburg:
    BulletProof Security
    Contact Form 7
    Contact Form 7 Honeypot
    Cookie Notice
    Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator
    Gutenburg
    Heartbeat Control
    Jetpack by WordPress.com
    Marmoset Viewer
    Page Builder by SiteOrigin
    ShortPixel Image Optimizer
    SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
    Slider Revolution
    UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
    WP Mail SMTP
    WP Rocket
    Yoast SEO

    New WordPress with Gutenburg:
    BulletProof Security
    Contact Form 7
    Contact Form 7 Honeypot
    Cookie Notice
    Element Pack
    Elementor
    Elementor Extras
    Elementor Pro
    Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator
    Gutenburg
    Mollie Payments for WooCommerce
    Swift Performance
    UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
    WooCommerce
    WP Mail SMTP
    Yoast SEO

    These are two sites with Gutenburg that I have tested with and have problems with, I did notice a Gutenbuerg 3.8.0 released just now which I didn’t test yet, but this was all the problems I experienced with 3.7.0

    In case you need further information, I’d be happy to provide!

    You also need to post which Theme you are using. I have come across 1 known issue with the GeneratePress Theme > https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/gutenberg/#post-36310. Since Themes can integrate with the WP Editor to add functionality then Themes are actually more likely to conflict with Gutenberg than plugins.

    The first one would be _underscores (self written theme, nothing special here).
    The second one is Savoy.

    Was working with a GeneratePress Theme WordPress website with Gutenburg enabled today and worked fine there, with a similar setup as site two I might add.

    Hmm, I installed as many of those plugins as I could (the ones that were in the w.org directory), but I’m not see any errors when I try to use Gutenberg.

    Do you have any browser extensions installed? If so, do you still get the errors if you temporarily disable them?

    @iandunn

    I always work with a browser that has no addons/plugins installed when working on websites to avoid such matters.

    I will test soon again with some other websites to see if the last update changed anything, mostly reporting it here that I had similar problems on different websites with different configurations with Gutenburg.

    Thanks! Let me know if you notice any clues that might help me reproduce it.
