 * If I activate in my website the plugin UpdraftPlus Backup and set PHP version
   to 7, I cannot edit my pages or posts: if I open the WordPress default editor,
   it works, but instead of seeing the text to be edited, I see only a blank page,
   as if no content was in that page or post.
 * If I set PHP version to 5.6 or if, while maintaining PHP 7, I disable the plugin
   UpdraftPlus Backup, I can normally edit my pages and posts.

 * Hi,
 * UpdraftPlus has been PHP 7 compatible since late 2015, and has no hooks onto 
   the editing pages. As such, it’s overwhelmingly likely that site is running very
   close to your configured PHP memory limit, and that you just need to increase
   that memory limit, and that de-activating UD helps because it just saves you 
   a bit of memory.

 * Hi,
 * UD has no hooks into the edit posts/pages pages, and has been PHP 7 compatible
   since late 2015. As such, it’s very likely that your site is running very close
   to the memory limit in your PHP 7 setup, and you just need to raise that memory
   limit, and that de-activating a plugin is just helping you save a bit of memory
   and get in under the memory limit.
