Hi There,

I have been working most of the day on a woocommerce archive page and suddenly am getting the error - This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed - see also screenshot attached.

I had installed a few Guttenberg addons to try to add icons to my layout but then uninstalled them as they were not what I was looking for. So not sure if that has caused the problem - but as mentioned I have uninstalled the plugins.

Hello J. and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

I suspect that deactivating the plugin may have contributed to the issue. If the archive was working before deactivating the plugins, reactivate them, reopen the archive, then remove those plugins blocks, and then deactivate the plugins.

You may also switch the editor mode to "Code" instead of "Visual" and try to remove the blocks that do not make sense. But it is rather an advanced feature, meant for developers. I might give it a try to see what I can find, but I can't guarantee that I'll fix it.

The last solution, I am afraid, is removing the archive template and recreating it from scratch.

If you want me to give it a try, y next reply will be private to let you share credentials safely. ** Make a database backup before sharing credentials. **
