I created a new page using the the Gutenburg blocks interface. Then I created a new view for a "records" post type. I left the view blank (no loops, content templates, filters, etc...)
When I added the view shortcode into this new page, I get the error "updating failed"
I am not able to reproduce this on my own site, but before proceeding much further
1. Why are you inserting a View with the shortcode block instead of the View block which is provided for inserting Views?
2. If you insert the View using a View block does it work?
3. Why have a View that outputs nothing?
4. If you add something to the View output does it work?
If you are just playing around with the new block editor to familiarise yourself with it I'm not sure this is worth pursuing given that I cannot replicate it, but if there is something you are trying to achieve here then let me know and I'll look into it further.
1. I tried both the shortcode block and view block, and neither work.
2. using a view block doesn't work.
3. I used a blank view for testing to see if my loop or output was causing the issue.
4. adding something to the view doesn't work.
Is it possible for me to provide access to the backend for you to investigate further?
My issue is resolved now. The problem was that there were too many posts and it was timing out the server. When i limited it to 10, the view saved correctly.
