In reply to: [Classic Editor] Classic Editor not working in WordPress 6.5 versionThank you @jordesign I forgot to come back and update this.
The issue for me ended up not actually being a plugin or WP config issue at all, it was an issue with certs and some replies from the web server coming back as not over https. It took opening the browser dev console to see that was the issue, as neither web server logs nor PHP logs were reporting anything being wrong.
Hi @shanedelierrr thanks for the quick reply. As part of one of those all-night “I can’t let this go until I get a breakthrough” sessions, I did do some more testing along the lines of what you suggest. But I saw a post somewhere suggesting to open the dev console of the browser when trying to use these features, and I discovered a problem I wasn’t expecting to cause something like this — there was an HTTPS mismatch happening with the way the DDoS provider was sending traffic and what was happening on the webserver. Once I got the web server ssl cert configuration aligned to the provider’s and modified a couple of rules at the proxy, things started working perfectly. I did have to manually select the IP detection to the X-Forwarded-For, which I’d never had to do before, but that’s no biggie.
Thanks again, this looks resolved! I’m at the latest release for OS, PHP and all other components now, so mission accomplished.

In reply to: [Classic Editor] Classic Editor not working in WordPress 6.5 versionI have seen similar behavior under PHP 8 and WP 6.5.2 on RHEL 8.9. I’m hoping my details can help find a thread to pull on.
If I set my host (I own and completely control my host, this is not a hosted environment) to use PHP 8, the text entry box will not take a cursor or any form of entry like copy/paste, and the Visual/Text tabs no longer work to flip between them. Basically nothing in the editor is functioning to get a post written. If I deactivate the plugin, the Block editor works, but my users despise it (which is why we use the Classic Editor).
I have completely rebuilt my site as a test environment using a completely empty database and no other plugins with the same results on PHP 8.1-8.3. If I revert to PHP 7.4.33 the Classic Editor again works precisely as expected — with no config changes other than removing PHP 8.x and reinstall PHP 7.4. I have had a number of issues with plugins under PHP 8.x and so have been trying to eliminate possible conflicts, looking at each plugin installed on its own in the test environment to rule out platform compatibility, so given I’m on an empty database with no other plugins installed and seeing this behavior, I’m convinced this is NOT a plugin conflict. It’s something to do with PHP 8 and RHEL 8 and how 6.5.2 functions on it.
I’ve not been able to find any error in a log related to this plugin, though I am seeing a number of warnings regarding undefined array keys in canonical.php under PHP 8, but I don’t think a warning would cause this.
