 * Hi, getting a lot of these errors on my production install. It seems to be an
   issue with WP core. Has anyone seen this before, and is there a way to fix it?
   Thanks
 *     ```wp-block-code

 * This problem may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to deactivate 
   all plugins and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-Four theme. If the problem
   goes away, re-activate them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
 * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to deactivate all plugins
   and change the theme for you while you’re still logged in **without affecting
   normal visitors to your site**.
