 * The plugin was working great, but now when I try to create or edit a block I 
   get the following error: “This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.”
   I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin. WordPress and the plugin are
   up to date.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblock-error-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Please provide steps to reproduce this bug. In which editor does this happen (
   page editor, FSE, or Widgets)? Which theme was used? Maybe specific block settings
   were selected?
 * Something that will help me reproduce this issue locally.
 * Regards,
   Nikita.

 * [@nko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nko/) thanks for your response. I 
   am using Gutenberg page editor on WordPress 6.4.2. The theme is Twenty Twenty
   Three. I’m using Safari, but have also tried Chrome. I was able to set up the
   block a couple months ago, but now can’t create or edit any advanced WordPress
   background blocks. Do you know of any plugin incompatibilities?

 * I’ve got the same problem. It’s Gutenberg that is the problem. Deactivating it
   and AWB works fine again.
 * Current version of Gutenberg: 17.4.1. WP 6.4.2
 * Can’t figure out how long back in the versions the problem occurred, but not 
   that many..? 🙁

 * Hi,
 * Please, look at the v1.12.2 update, it should work correctly with the latest 
   Gutenberg.

   Nikita.
