 * Hi there, we have noticed a bug in widgets block.
    When editing Widgets in Blocks
   will repeat with errors and the console shows it is a JSON error stating ‘The
   response is not a valid JSON response’ and also says 503 error with it. Troubleshooting
   I have done: – Have tried downgrading versions, errors will be removed but unable
   to move widgets around. Now I have the current version. – Deactivating all plugins,
   one reactivated they come back and it is not related to a plugin. – did permalinks,–
   re did htaccess file – classic widgets plugin also takes away errors but you 
   cant move widgets. none of these steps worked. Some guidance on what is happening
   would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

 * Please don’t post in the Alpha/Beta forum unless you’re actually testing the 
   alpha/beta version of WordPress (not a plugin or a theme). Also, once WordPress
   has released a version, it’s not appropriate to post in alpha/beta and you should
   post in the Fixing WordPress forum:
