 * Hello,
 * When I try to change any of the text in my FAQ’s then click update, I get an 
   error message that says ‘Updating failed’. Do you know what might be causing 
   this?

 * Hello,
 * It looks like the Gutenberg Editor is not working well on your website for some
   strange reason. Can you please install and use Classic Editor and then let me
   know if you are still having any trouble in updating the FAQs?
 * Thanks,
 * Usman
