Hello. I am recently getting an error from the WP-Discourse plugin that is preventing me from editing a blog post. I was recently upgraded to WP5 and also updated my DIVI theme. I suspect this has something to do with the error, but I’m not sure how to fix it.

My Discourse forum is hosted on Digital Ocean. I use the plugin so my users can share their same login from my WP site.

When I disable the plugin I do not get the error, but I cannot leave it disabled for obvious reasons. The error I get is (URL blocked out):

I am also including a screenshot of what I see when I try to open a blog post in my editor. I never get to the post in order to edit it.
