I am trying to: Edit an archive page Template

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Local Dev Environment

I expected to see: The toolset visual editor, This initially worked fine. Plugin conflict test negative, same result with all plugins deactivated excluding Toolset Blocks and Types

Instead, I got: Standard WordPress post editor view received the below error after inspecting the page

"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)"

Hi, the missing map files shouldn't be causing this problem, and will only be obvious if someone opens the browser console tools. If you're unable to use the Block Editor to design a WordPress Archive, please try these troubleshooting steps first:
- Go to Toolset > Settings > General tab and check the setting for "Editing experience". Choose "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build", then check the setting for "Editor to use for WordPress Archives".
- Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Types and Blocks, and activate a default theme like Twenty Twenty.
- Test again. If the problem is resolved, reactivate your theme and other plugins one by one until the problem returns.
- If the problem was not resolved, I'll be glad to take a closer look.

It turns out the conflict is with my theme. Once i switch to Twenty Twenty the editor works fine. None of the plugins affect this outcome. I still have the issue in divi if all the plugins are deactivated. However it did work once upon a time with divi not sure why it won't now.

If you go to Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced tab, temporarily disable "Classic Editor" and "Latest Divi Experience" are you able to use the Block Editor successfully?

I am able to use it once classic editor was disabled. The "Latest Divi Experience" was already disabled. Thanks for the help.

Okay you're welcome. As you have noticed you must disable the "Classic Editor" option in Divi to enable the Gutenberg (Blocks) editor in the backend. Hope this helps clarify things.
