Have you tried:
– Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as Cloudflare, clear those caches.
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
– If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
Thank you Tara,
I will start working through all this. So I’m the only one with this problem? Then I at least know I need to search for a solution.
Tiara,
Thanks so much. I flushed the caches I knew of and tried changing themes with no difference.
So I decided to next try deactivating the plugins, but instead of taking them all out at once, I thought I’d do one at a time. The very first one I deactivated was Google Fonts – and immediately the problem disappeared! I then reactivated, and it was still fine! So Google Fonts must have had a cache or something that got sorted when I took it off and back on.
I’m so thrilled Thank you!
