Title: Error when editing button groups Last modified: June 8, 2019 --- # Error when editing button groups * Resolved [serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/) * (@serevinus) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/) * Hi, * Just trying out all the different blocks to see which ones might be useful, and on one of the blocks I think I might use it is throwing an error which is preventing me from using it… * When editing a button group, whenever I change a numeric value (ie. changing the number of buttons), I get an error saying “This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed”. Additionally, in the JavaScript console I am seeing the following error “Permission denied to access property “nextElementSibling”” * Using the latest version of the plugin, the Neve theme, wordpress and all other plugins, as well as the latest version of Firefox. * So far I have not noticed any issues with any other blocks (though I havent tried them all yet), just this one… * Hope you can fix this. * Thanks, Jim Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Hardeep Asrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/) * (@hardeepasrani) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11618208) * Hey [@serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/), * Thank you for reporting this issue.

Can you give us the list of all the plugins that you’re using on your website? * Thank you. 🙂 * Thread Starter [serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/) * (@serevinus) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11620805) * Hi [@hardeepasrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/), * I have just tested on jurassic.ninja as requested and it appears that the plugin that is breaking this block is ThirstyAffiliates. the block breaks when it’s enabled, and works correctly if it’s disabled. Unfortunately this isnt a plugin that can be removed from the site, so I am hoping that its a simple conflict that can be resolved. * My version of WordPress is 5.2.1–en_GB, using the latest version of the Neve theme. * Installed pluggins are as follows, all the latest versions Amp Contact Form 7 Democracy Poll FileBird Lite Glue for Yoast SEO & AMP Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights Gutenberg Blocks and Template Library by Otter Jetpack by WordPress.com Mailchimp for WordPress (currently disabled) Meta Tag Manager Redirection Smart Slider 3 ThirstyAffiliates UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore W3 Total Cache Wordfence Security Yoast SEO * Thanks for the assistance so far :), Jim * Plugin Author [Hardeep Asrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/) * (@hardeepasrani) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11628669) * [@serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/) Hey there! * Sorry for the delay. Weekends were tough. Anyway, so I took a deep look into this issue (as well into the code from ThirstyAffiliates plugin), it seems we really can’t do anything here. * It’s a conflict in their code and we can’t put anything to stop it. But luckily, it only happens when you try to increase the button count using the right input. * If you just use the Progress Bar to increase the number of buttons, it won’t break. * Also, would recommend you to report this issue to the developer of the plugin as it is appearing in other places too (especially on their own Gutenberg block). 🙂 * Let me know if it helps. 🙂 * Thread Starter [serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/) * (@serevinus) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11628718) * Thanks [@hardeepasrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/), * Has been a long weekend and week here too so no worries. * I will raise the issue with them. * Luckilly I don’t use their block, I only use their link button so I hadnt even noticed their block doesnt work. * Thanks, Jim * Plugin Author [Hardeep Asrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/) * (@hardeepasrani) * [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11628732) * [@serevinus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serevinus/) I’ve already opened a support ticket on their plugin: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-issue-got-github/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gutenberg-issue-got-github/) 🙂 Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Error when editing button groups’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/otter-blocks/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3452114) * [Otter Blocks - Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE](https://wordpress.org/plugins/otter-blocks/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/otter-blocks/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/otter-blocks/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Hardeep Asrani](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardeepasrani/) * Last activity: [6 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-editing-button-groups/#post-11628732) * Status: resolved
