Reply To: Epik Doesn't Work With New WordPress

Hi Jeff,

Epik should definitely work with the latest version of WordPress. It’s working perfectly fine on my end. I’ve been running the latest version of WordPress 5.0 and just tested again to make sure. I can create, and edit posts and pages with no problem.

I don’t think there’s anything inside the Child theme that would prevent you from being able to create or edit posts. WordPress is usually responsible for that part. There isn’t any code in the theme that alters that functionality.

I would suggest disabling all of your plugins to see if that’s where your issue is coming from. There are still a lot of plugins out there that cause conflicts with Gutenberg, so I would try disabling them to see which one it might be.

Do you have custom code added in anywhere? Inside or outside your theme? I would check that as well.

Other than that, try reinstalling WordPress from the Update page….and also make sure you have the latest updated version of the Genesis Framework. If you installed WordPress and there was an error in the install process, then it could cause an issue like that to happen. Double check all of those areas and let me know if you see a difference.
