[Resolved] Block problem with Gutenberg

[Sebastian]

Update:

Re-activated “Classic Editor”. I don’t want to deal with that mess.

[David]

I was just about to say, did you try switching to TwentySeventeen? Haven’t experienced those issues, so would be good to know. But switching to classic is not a bad thing.

Hi

I’m having same problem on localhost, here is a screenshot

What i have tried: Clearing cache, disabling all plugins, changing theme to 2019.

[Sebastian]

Hi Jamal,

exactly the problem I had. Tried the same. Activated the Classic Editor.

[David]

Hi Jamal,

so the issue is still there on the 2019 theme?

[Jamal]

Yes David problem persist even with 2019 theme activated. I just tried some live sites and got the same problem.

[Tom]

What exactly am I looking at there? Is the editor not working?

[Jamal]

It seems not to be working unfortunately unless im missing something. For example i can’t add blocks etc.

Please let me know if you need more information or some more testing from my side. Thanks Tom.

[David]

Can you try it in a different browser? And make sure there are no browser extensions active?

[Jamal]

The thing is that on a clean install all works just fine but on existing sites the issue above occurs. I have tried disabling extensions and tried it on Firefox.
Even on this site i get the above issue after updating. Any chance you still have the site package and can try it on local machine?

I have a site that uses Sections and new Blocks cannot be added. You can click the + and select a Block but nothing appears on the page.
On another site that does not use Sections, I am able to add Blocks as expected.

Jamal – I just logged into your site and didn’t have a problem: https://www.screencast.com/t/lL6zgSu0N

Are you seeing something different?

Lyle – I’m not getting that issue: https://www.screencast.com/t/F6Wy4gOCVhQ

I’ve also been developing the Gutenberg features with Sections active – never had that issue.

[Jamal]

Thanks, i have found what the problem was. I had disabled the visual editor and after enabling it the issue was resolved.

[Tom]

Interesting – good to know! 🙂

Thanks!

[Sebastian]

Oh boy. I didn’t know, that the visual editor has to be active.

I have the visual editor always disabled.

By activating it, the problem solved for me, too.

That are things, you have to know. 😀
