Unable to publish PGAE or POST

  • Please for the love of Mike! SOMEBODY tell me how to fix the problem with WordPress / Gutenberg PAGES not publishing.

    PLEASE NOTE: Changing or writing code is way beyond my skill set.

    I’ve used Site Health and the the cURL and REST API error notices.

    Meanwhile my work and company have come to a stand still.

  • You don’t actually say what the symptoms are or what version you are using.

    Wordpress:5.2.3
    Theme: Agency Pro
    PHP: “The” latest version downloaded today (9/9/2019)by hosting company.

    Apache 2.4.41
    PHP 7.3.9
    MySQL 5.6.41-84.1
    Perl 5.28.0

    So, what do you actually see when trying to publish? What is the error? What does it do?
    What does this incomplete sentence mean: “I’ve used Site Health and the the cURL and REST API error notices.”

    Thanks for helping!

    I created a “PAGE” with the title “Interviewing and Interrogation Training Referrals.

    Using Gutenberg, I added a “photo and text side by side block.” I added a featured photo and for text a “heading 2” Subtitle.

    I used a “text block” to add my content.”

    Then I used a “code block” and added BWS Contact form short code.

    I “updated” the page and published the page live.

    When I view the PAGE all I see is the Page title. Nothing appears below the page title.

    I’ve turned off plugins, used temporary themes and always the same result. Nothing but page title.

    Regarding the cURL and REST API notices. I uploaded the Health Check plugin. When I run the plugin I get the following critical error message:

    “The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

    The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: [] cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received.”

    Coding is beyond my skillset. Search of forums for WP, etc., are months old and trying to follow some previous fixes recommended in the posts have been unproductive.

    I am totally stuck!

    Thanks for your patience and help!

    I looked at your page and there are some problems.
    The content portion is empty, but since you didn’t say you got an error when publishing, I would not blame the editor. You might want to verify the contents in a different way, like looking in the database or using Classic Editor.
    But, since you say you get the same results with no plugins and other themes, it does seem like the content was not saved, especially since Health Check says the REST API has a problem.
    Do you know what might have changed between when the editor worked and when it didn’t?
    Do you have the REST API disabled?

    The things I’m seeing in your page source indicate that some things are running out of order. The page has a huge <head> section with all kinds of scripts. Then the <body> which has a data-rsssl attribute (for RSS or SSL?) and it is using a contact page template, which might not even output the content — check there first, although switching themes would mean showing it without that template. Then header, menu, and then content with a map script, then footer. Then some script for the contact form and a <html> tag and a <head> tag which should not be there and more scripts and a <style> (as if in the head section). Then another <body> tag with data-rsssl attribute. Then a bunch of <div> and <style> and <footer> again.
    There should only be one <html> and one <body>.

    Your theme is using such a small font size (8px!) that I can barely read what is on the page. And the little arrow to Jump to Top at the bottom right covers the link to acknowledge the cookie policy.
    Consider a different theme.

    Thanks for your effort to help! It is above and beyond and I greatly appreciate it.

    The first nagging problem appears to the the REST API.

    I “was” saving the content (as a draft & published) That appears to be the issue with the REST API. The other “trash code” may be from me trying all kinds of different alternatives to get the page to post.

    Step 1. I’ll be adding “Performs” plugin and activate the REST API (I hope!!)
    Step 2. I’m going to delete the whole page and start fresh. I can keep the content in a text editor until I get the new page ready to go.
    Step 3. I try to publish the page first without the contact form just to make sure that’s not screwing things up.

    Once I get these 3 things, I’ll evaluate where I am at solving the problem.

    Thanks for your observations and suggestions.

    I’ll keep you posted.
