Makes perfect sense. Not sure how to enable debuging, nor if it would be fine to do on a live site? :/

The error doesn’t mention StCR, just writes, below the update button:
“Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.”

@vinit
The error has been discussed in WordPress help forum. From what I gathered, many have encountered the problem since the relatively recent WordPress updates.

Also, I had found a text explaining that “Subscribe to comments reloaded” plugin can also cause the problem.

WordPress editor takes long time trying to update, returning this:

“Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.”

Thanks, I will take your advice and see about a Child Theme – sounds like a better, more sensible long term solution, even if it takes some more time right now.

Thanks for the reply.

As for the theme changes, I just don’t edit theme. Sticking to a theme that suits me (Catch Base) the way it is. This is the first time I’m editing anything. It’s for an ads serving purpose – I don’t think there will be any edits apart from that in the near future. Just copy/paste 10 lines of code that are required to be put “just before the </head> tag in the header.php”.

My plan was to:
1) download the original header.php, and keep an original copy.
2) make a copy for editing.
3) instert something like this:
original content goes to here
// begining of my code editing – comment so I can edit it back easier
required code by the app
//end of my editing
</head> (the original content continues here)

4) upload the edited version to the server.

Thanks for the idea. Could be.

After deleting (via FTP client) the other plugin from the same “manufacturer”, along with the AdSense plugin – both the plugins were gone.

Choosing “Deactivate” and uninstall from the WP plugins menu had no effect on these plugins.
