When I try to edit a post or page on my site, I get this error:

[https://www.dropbox.com/s/6d2m9v1xbz6zsdb/Screen%20Shot%202020-11-30%20at%201.54.08%20PM.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/6d2m9v1xbz6zsdb/Screen%20Shot%202020-11-30%20at%201.54.08%20PM.png?dl=0)

When I click “Attempt Recover” it doesn’t do anything. When I click copy error, here is what it shows:

```

```

I’ve run troubleshooting so if I disable all other plugins/themes except for WP-Discourse, it’s still broken. If I enable all other plugins/themes _except_ for WP-Discourse, then the site works fine.

I’m running the latest versions of both Wordpress and WP-Discourse.

Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting this Tim, and apologies for the delay in responding to you.

I’ve submitted a PR to the plugin repo that addresses it. When this is merged the plugin should work for you.

Let me know how that goes.
