Problem with updating widgets
-
A very curious problem, but when I try to add a linebreak to an existing paragraph in my widget, the update button will get stuck loading.
I don’t know what to tell more, very rare question, I know. I’ve tried it on localhost, and on a couple servers. Also on different sites and from a range of devices, but the problem is consistent. So my guess is that it’s a bug in the WordPress core.

Indeed, a very strange issue; I haven’t seen that so far, I must be honest. Did you try “usual” troubleshooting: update all on our website (plugins, theme, and WP), and if that doesn’t help, deactivate plugins one by one, and see if any of those are culprit(s)?
Interesting to see, thanks for the video. I can’t reproduce the problem in my case, so I would recommend the following:
- The missing save could be caused by a server-side error. Check the error log of your hosting to see if there is anything there.
- Deactivate all plugins as a test and use a standard theme. Does it work then?
- Look under Tools > Site Health to see if any anomalies are mentioned there.
Hi all, thanks for the replies. Because this is such a peculiar problem, I’m currently not experiencing problems with it since the “workaround” is very easy. But I’ll try to answer the questions to help identify and solve the problem. I’ve tried the usual troubleshooting, but unfortunately that doesn’t do anything.
I can’t reproduce the problem in my case
This is find weird, and a little frustrating 😉 I’ve tried it so many times now, and it doesn’t work whatever I try (other site, other device, other browser, other network, other WP user). Again, it is a very specific edge case, only when you add a linebreak in the middle of an existing text.

I don’t know if it is server side or client side, but what I do know is that the problem persists on both Windows and mac, on multiple browser, on my local environment and on a couple of server environments.
Deactivate all plugins as a test and use a standard theme. Does it work then?
I’ve tested it with a new and clean environment, no plugins installed, and only the “Twenty Twenty” theme.
Look under Tools > Site Health to see if any anomalies are mentioned there.
No problems there, only that page cache is disabled
I can reproduce it in https://playground.wordpress.net – there you first have to activate access to the network, then install TwentyTwenty. If you then do what you showed in your video, you get exactly this effect.
I would recommend that you report the problem to the Gutenberg team: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues – with your video and perhaps a reference to the reproduction in the Playground.
Hi @threadi thanks for the comment. Glad to hear that you can also reproduce the error. I was afraid I was doing somthing wrong 😉
I will now report this to the Gutenberg team, thanks for the feedback. Marking this as “solved” for now, since the problem will hopefully be fixed by the Gutenberg team.
