Description

I encountered an error message when publishing or updating. Due to a mistake in a wrong sentence, the error message appears. You will get the error message "Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response". Why did it happen?

  • WordPress 6.4.3 running theme GeneratePress.
  • .htaccess file according to wp settings
  • Permalinks postname settings
  • Already started with HTTPS
  • REST API no 404 error message

To test my findings, you can test on new posts or old articles with the following sentence: "tempdb" without quotation marks and click Publish or Update and the error message "Updating failed. Response is not a valid JSON response." will appear.

@r3ndy Are you able to open your browser developer console before updating the post and take a look at the response in the Network tab? It's likely there's an error being output in the response which will help pinpoint where the problem lies.
