Update button not working all the time

  • When I am editing a Post, the Update button is dead if I take more than a couple minutes doing my edit. When I click it, just nothing happens. No error message, it just doesn’t do anything. It acts like a greyed out button except it is normal color.

    If I copy the text of the article, then refresh the page and paste it back into the article box, then it will save. But if I want to assign a category or tags or fill in SEO information from the Yoast plugin, or a big edit, I have to do one thing then save it quickly for each thing, or the Update button goes dead again.

    The same thing happens with the Publish button when I create a new article. If I don’t Publish the article quickly before I fill in all the extraneous stuff, the button is dead.

    I am using the latest version of WordPress and the Classic Editor.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Nineteen 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.
