@exelejames I have looked at the Functions.php file in the Theme editor, and I would have NO IDEA where to insert the function that you provided. I will wait until I have access to a programmer.

Another question while I have you: Site Health says that I am not using https, but I have no idea how to use it. Does that take a programmer too?

Man thanks once again.

@exelejames, thank you for the suggestion. I am not much of a tech person, but I will try your suggestion.

Thanks for taking the time.

Hi Jim,

I have tried Safari (because I use a Mac), Chrome and Firefox. Same result.

I tried all seven of the default themes, in case there was one that worked. No luck.

I deleted all but one of the themes. No luck.

I deactivated all plugins, No luck.

I deleted all plugins. No luck.

Finally, I downloaded the plugin “Disable Gutenberg”, which at least allowed me to return to the classic editor. So I am “reasonably” happy for now.

I wonder if the problem may be that, as a rank amateur and non-techie, I am using HostGator for my setup and server. Once in a while, I get a message that says that I do not have the latest version of PHP, which I cannot fix on my own, as it is installed by HostGator. When I go to HostGator, it simply says that they will use the most recent PHP version available, but I have difficulty figuring out which one is being used. Perhaps they have not yet updated to Version 7.xxx.

In any case, as a beginner, I am happy for now. Once my site is up and I have a bit more time, I will re-investiage Gutenberg and Block Editing. But if you do have any other ideas, please fire away.

Many thanks for responding.

Brian
