2. Use a Different Browser
- If the issue persists, try using a different web browser. This helps rule out browser-related problems.
3. Disable Plugins
- Temporarily deactivate your WordPress plugins to check if one of them is causing the problem. Re-enable them one by one to identify the culprit.
4. Switch to a Default Theme
Change your WordPress theme to a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the problem is theme-related.
