I cannot remember exactly how I got to the page where I posted the problem; however, it was most likely by going to WordPress.org and searching for Gutenberg Editor (and probably “blank screen” or “white screen”) and following links. The confirming email I received after posting is copy-and-pasted below. …John * #44962: Update to 3.8.0 results in blank screen ————————–+—————————– Reporter: johngoold | Owner: (none) Type: defect (bug) | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review Component: General | Version: 3.8 Severity: normal | Keywords: Focuses: | ————————–+—————————– I have a test site with which I wanted to start exploring the Gutenberg editor. Not having used it for quite a while, when I logged in I noticed there was an update to 3.8.0 available (I don’t remember exactly what I was on previously, but I know this skipped a lot of previous updates). * In submitting this ticket, I see “Version” shows the latest as 4.9.8 — why don’t I see that when I update the Gutenberg plugin? * When I go to edit a post (all of them on this test site were converted to Gutenberg), I just get a blank browser window (not just a delay before rendering, but a blank— i.e. white — window). * If I use the browser’s back button, but then select the Classic Editor, I get a dialog telling me this was edited with Gutenberg… with warnings. If I continue, all the content is there. If, instead, I select Gutenberg the blank window is displayed. * Latest Firefox (62.0) under Linux Mint (18.2) * — Ticket URL: <[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44962>](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44962>); WordPress Trac <[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/>](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/>); WordPress publishing platform * Thread Starter [johngoold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johngoold-1/) * (@johngoold-1) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/github-vs-forums/#post-10713640) * [@ian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ian/): As with previous post, sorry for the delay replying. * I have updated to 3.9.0 and the problem is still there. The only log I could find is the access log. I will review how to get PHP logging errors and see what I can find out. * If it is of any help, I am using the _Generate Press_ theme (Pro version) and have the following plugins installed: * **Akismet Anti-Spam** (active) **GP Premium** (not active) **Gutenberg** (active)— of course! **Simple Shortcodes** (not active) **WP Missed Schedule Posts** (active) * I’ll try deactivating the last one in the list and see if it makes any difference. * Thread Starter [johngoold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johngoold-1/) * (@johngoold-1) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/github-vs-forums/#post-10713656) * [@iandunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iandunn/) is perfectly correct. I attempted to add a post (versus edit an existing one) and got the same blank screen. * Please do not post any more comments here, but refer to [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-updating-3-8-cant-write-new-posts/#post-10701099](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-updating-3-8-cant-write-new-posts/#post-10701099) where I will be posting anything new I discover. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/github-vs-forums/#post-10714810) * [@johngoold-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johngoold-1/) Posting in other people’s threads isn’t particularly helpful for them. We would suggest keeping your own threads active instead of invading others, because of the way the email notification system works on these forums. * Regarding your problem, do you see any error messages in the javascript console? * Thread Starter [johngoold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johngoold-1/) * (@johngoold-1) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/github-vs-forums/#post-10715427) * First, my apologies if I did something the forums depreciate. I was under the impression the solving problems (bugs, etc.) was easier if there was a single report with comments/clarifications/etc., rather than multiple duplicate reports. * I will attempt to edit (if I still can) my comment and change it to a “See also:” reference. * Regarding the issue, the Firefox Web Console reports: * ``` JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1 load-scripts.php:9:542 Loading failed for the
