 * Hi,
 * Could you please complete the following steps in order to detect the problem 
   and find its solution:
 * 1) Activate a default WordPress theme for a while (Twenty Nineteen or Twenty-
   Twenty) and check if the problem remains.
    2) Deactivate all of your plugins 
   and also check if the problem is still present. If it is not, activate the plugins
   one by one, meanwhile checking, after which plugin activation the problem appears
   again. 3) Contact us back with information about the results.
