 * Whenever I try to use the WordPress editor on the home page, the screen goes 
   completely grey. If I try to edit other pages with the WordPress editor, it goes
   white. If I edit those same other pages but with Beaver Builder, the editing 
   UI pops up but then is non-responsive aside from typical website functions.
   Here
   are solutions that I’ve already attempted:– Deactivate Plugins– Change the theme–
   Change the WP-config > wp-debug to true– Reinstall the latest version of WordPress–
   Cloning the current applicationI am unsure how to proceed, I am going through
   installatron for the application instance and I just want to edit the website
   I’ve worked so hard on.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-edit-wordpress-editor-or-plugin-editor-pages%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@gemmystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmystic/)
 * I hope you are doing well today.
 * > Change the WP-config > wp-debug to true
 * Did you check debug.log in /wp-content/ folder and what errors are there? Or 
   debug.log file is not generated?
 * If not, can you add this code to wp-config and see if debug.log will generate:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       // Enable WP_DEBUG modedefine('WP_DEBUG', true);// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log filedefine('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);@ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );// Disable display of errors and warningsdefine('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);@ini_set('display_errors', 0);
       ```
   
 * The line should be placed above the “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.*/”
 * This will generate in the /wp-content/ folder a debug.log file. Thanks to this
   file we will understand what is causing the error.
 * Kind Regards,
   Kris

 * [@wpmudevsupport13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/) I 
   cannot edit the code or anything as the USNH instance of Installatron does not
   seem to allow for uploading new applications from the PC. If I am missing a step
   then please do advise

 * Hi [@gemmystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmystic/) ,
 * I hope you’re doing well.
 * As you already confirmed there is no debug.log file, could you please confirm
   that this is not being controlled by your Hosting? Sometimes the hosting generate
   PHP Error logs on a special section on their dashboard, you can reach them in
   order to confirm that.
 * In case there is no section like that, could you please try the troubleshooting
   steps shown by Beaver Builder here – [https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-builder/troubleshooting/debugging/plugin-conflicts/](https://docs.wpbeaverbuilder.com/beaver-builder/troubleshooting/debugging/plugin-conflicts/)
 * They suggest trying to clear cache.

 * [@wpmudev-support8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support8/) I 
   cannot confirm that it is being controlled by my host, however the link for beaver
   builder fixed all of the beaver builder editing pages, now the regular wordpress
   editor (Such as seen on the home screen of a wordpress website) is the only issue.

 * Hi [@gemmystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmystic/),
 * > However the link for beaver builder fixed all of the beaver builder editing
   > page
 * I see the link provided, only mentions about steps to clear the cache and a conflict
   test. I would assume the steps to clearing the cache worked.
 * >  now the regular wordpress editor (Such as seen on the home screen of a wordpress
   > website) is the only issue.
 * I would suggest you set up a staging site and see if that helps in ruling out
   the issues noticed when compared to the live site with all the plugins disabled
   and with a default WP theme. The staging should help in better ruling out factors
   like cache, and conflicts.
 * If the issue is still the same even on a staging with all the plugins disabled
   and with a default WP theme then would also recommend checking with your hosting
   provider in case they are able to pinpoint anything specific within the server
   side.
 * You can refer to this for more info about setting up staging:

 * [@wpmudevsupport11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport11/) I 
   cloned my site and checked the check box for the “Staging Site” option. When 
   I did that I could successfully edit, however when I cloned the site regularly,
   it still would not allow me to edit

 * Hi [@gemmystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmystic/) ,
 * Sorry to hear it’s still an issue, however, it sounds like a site-specific issue.
   Is the staging on the same server as the live site?
 * If yes, would recommend checking with your Hosting provider and see if are able
   to help in ruling out what might be causing such a behaviour, since it does work
   fine in staging on the same server.
 * Would also recommend ruling out external factors with your hosting provider like
   server cache, security settings etc which might cause a conflict.
 * I hope this helps in moving forward.
 * Kind Regards,
 * Nithin
