Can't make posts and plugins won't install from Pro Theme Dashboard

So some pretty funky problems have occurred:

  • whenever we try to publish a post it fails
  • updating plugins often times out and crashes the site
  • all of the built in plugins won’t install (see screenshot)
  • searching for new plugins in the WP plugin section won’t show any plugins
  • manually installing plugins often fails.

URL is http://encorenetworks.com
we’re on WordPress 5.0.3
Latest Pro version (2.4.6)

After I’ve disable Gutenberg, I can successfully create posts again - so I figured I may have something to do with JavaScript or so but it doesn’t solve the plugins problem though. It just says, install fails and the when I click more details it says blank.html.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello Ves,

Thanks for asking. :slight_smile:

I checked the website and can see the issue you are facing. However, in dev tools I see bunch of error messages while searching or installing plugins.

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden) http://encorenetworks.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

I suggest you to take a look at following threads for possible solutions as the problem does not seems related with Pro Theme.

Hello there,

Thanks for the quick response, looking into it right now.
How did you get to see the error? Meaning, what are dev tools and where can I find them?

Thanks again!
