Can't open or edit post! Keeps crashing.

Hi,

I am trying to access a wordpress post that I have been working on for several day, but suddenly I am unable to open it.

When I click to open, I get a white page with the message: ‘The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.’ But, I have received no email.

Everything had been working absolutely fine!

I have unplugged some plugins. This helped briefly; I was again able to open the post. BUT, within minutes the post would crash again, and I was then once again unable to open it. So I am not sure if plugins are causing the problem.

The strange thing is, I am able to open different posts with no apparent problem. It just seems to be ‘one’ particular post.

I’m relatively new to worpress and have no real clue as to what has happened. So any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Hello !

I suggest you to copy the post content from the homepage, erase it and re-create it again. If the problem persists then there is an issue with something from the content of the post.

Let me know how that works.

Thank you !

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for the reply.

The blog is currently not live, I am still in the development stage.

When I hover over the post title and press ‘preview’ – I am able to see the previewed content perfectly.

It’s just when I click on it to continue editing, that I get the message: The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

I’m a bit of a novice with wordpress. Could you explain what you mean by – ‘copy the post content from the homepage, erase it and re-create it again’.

Thanks

Hello !

I meant to go into your post, like normal user (not admin) copy all the content so you don’t lose it if it’s important. Then go in Dashboard – Posts and delete that post. After you deleted it make another post and paste the content in it. You can see here how to delete it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZADrpR8Css

Thank you !

Hi Vlad!

Thanks again for the reply. I think I have managed to sort the issue. For some reason I think Jetpack was causing a problem; when I deactivated, the problem went away. I have now deleted Jetpack and am trying a handful of different plugins to try and replicate the Jetpack benefits.

Thanks!
