    This page has nothing but a single “Latest posts” block. It fails to update when I enable the “Post content” and set it to “excerpt”. It shows a red bar with this message: “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

    It seems to work fine when “Post content” is set off, and when on with the “Full post” option enabled. It was working, but I made a change to the widgets shown on the page and it began shopwing only the full content.

    It looks like this may be a mixed content issue.

    The site currently has both http and https types of content. This often happens in situations where content was added to a site before it had an SSL certificate and then an SSL certificate was added later.

    Fortunately there are a number of plugin that will force SSL on the content, like this one:?https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-force-ssl/

    However, there are many others and I recommend that you research to find the one that’s right for you.

    Thanks for the excellent reply. I managed a workaround by adding a block plugin which had its own post block, it looks different and has an “more” button whose graphics are unfortunately uneditable. But it mostly works. I’ll look into the mixed content issue. Thanks again.
