Unable to edit and update a page

  • When I make small copy changes to an existing page then hit ‘Update,’ it won’t. It either takes me to a preview of the changes or I get a dialog box asking ‘Leaving page? Changes you made may not be saved.’ And that’s it. I cannot edit my site. I’ve emptied my cache and done all the other things I’m supposed to do and still nothing. PLEASE fix this! I need to be able to make changes to my site. And all was working fine until the upgrade.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    This continues to be a problem for me. I’ve tried different themes, turning off and back on plugins and still the annoying “…confirm that you want to leave —data you have entered may not be saved.” The button options are Stay — which does nothing except spin and doesn’t save anything. If you refresh to stop the spinning then you’re back to where you started. If I hit the other button Leave Page, then it saves the page. Makes no sense why, or when, this annoying dialog box pops up. It does it with woocommerce products, posts, plugins trying to ship and print invoices, etc. I contacted Woocommerce as I thought initially is was a problem with it, but it’s doing it on another site that doesn’t have Woocommerce installed. Does anyone know what’s causing this and how to solve it?
