WordPress 4.0 has been buggy. However,
I installed the plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/quotmarks-replacer/
I also created the wp-bug-fix.php and aded it to the site
but no change.
Thanks for the reply. I have contacted Pro support and my hosting company to check permissions in order to rule that out.
I went through all the troubleshooting possibilities, themes, plugins etc with no success.
In the mean time I wanted to put it out here to see if anyone has come across this.
