"Updating Failed" / "Publishing Failed" on latest Update (temp conflict with an unknown theme or solved by deactivating and reactivating WP Cerber)

[tvledesign]

Description:

Upon updating to the recent version of Gutenberg, I haven't been able to save or publish posts. I keep getting an "Updating Failed" or "Publishing Failed" error. Tried this on a fresh install of WordPress as well as deactivating all plugins on the site I'm experiencing this on.

To Reproduce

1. With Gutenberg installed and updated, create a new post.
2. Try to save the new post as a Draft or Publish it.

Expected behavior

I've expected the post to save like it normally does.

Error in plain text for reference:

The hook name can only contain numbers, letters, dashes, periods and underscores.
index.js?ver=153025076:1

Noting a few other mentions of that same error message in past issues:

• Page select UI is limited to 101 select items #6487 (comment)
• Custom HTML shows An unknown error occurred. #7188 (comment)

I believe #6091 addresses the underlying problem, which appears to be that if another installed plugin uses wp.hooks.addAction() (such as Advanced Custom Fields) then editing will break.

@tvledesign, thank you for the report! If you'd like to reply here to note whether you are currently using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin (and the version), that'd be great to document! Past that, please subscribe to #6091 if you'd like to follow progress on this issue.

@designsimply I have this running on a site without Advanced Custom Fields and it produced the same errors (as well as on a site that has ACF). Disabling all plugins with only Gutenburg activate yield the same results.

🤔 For good measure, may I ask if you have tested with the default theme? I will also try testing from Chrome on Windows…

[tvledesign]

Actually, interestingly enough I deactivated everything just now and set it to the default theme and had an error the first time but it saved the second time. Then I switched back to my theme and turned all my plugins back on and it oddly worked.

For me the problem was because I had started serving the site using HTTPS, with a SSL certificate from lets encrypt, however I didn't update the urls on the Settings in the General Dashboard (Dashboard --> Settings). That was making Chrome not load a jetpack pluging, breaking the JS execution.

I just ran into the same problem. Can someone explain how to diagnose what might be causing the problem? Things like "turn everything off" are not what I want to be doing with my time.

I solved this problem
Just stop WP Cerber Security version 7.2, and update to version 7.6,
then restart WP Cerber Security，everything is worked fine

I’m at WP Cerber Security 7.6, which appears to be the latest available publicly. Where did you find 7.7?
