Site Editor hangs after WP upgrade – AH01623: client method denied by server

  • Hello,

    When I upgrade WP from 6.5.5 to 6.6.2, the Site Editor hangs: when I click on “Appearance” in WP admin and then on “Editor” the Site Editor hangs. The sidebar on the left appears, but on the right there is an empty screen with a progress bar that gets stuck at about 25%.

    In the error log I find the following error message:

    [Fri Oct 11 10:01:24.816633 2024] [allowmethods:error] [pid 2348467:tid 140551999354624] [remote 2a02:a03f:e93a:ed00:99f9:38b5:e7f6:bb61:49969] AH01623: client method denied by server configuration: ‘OPTIONS’ to /home/uuuuuu/domains/mywebsite/public_html/wp-json, referer: https://mywebsite/wp-admin/site-editor.php

    This happens on the default WP with the default theme 2024, but also with other block themes I tested such as 2022 and 2023.

    Rollback to 6.5.5 and the problem disappears.

    Can you help ?

  • I believe you that this is a very strange error message. I see 2 possible causes for this:

    • A security tool on the hosting recognizes the request of the newer WordPress version as possibly incorrect and rejects it. To clarify this, you would have to contact your hoster’s support.
    • A plugin you are using is interfering with the WordPress REST API in an unfavorable way. Deactivate all plugins as a test and see if it still happens.

    Hi @threadi,

    Thank you for your reply and suggestions.

    I deactivated all plugins, and the problem is still there.

    I contacted my hosting provider and wait for his feedback.
