Updating failed the response is not a valid JSON response - Solution
This case happened to me always after updating something in my WordPress. Any suggestion solution via Permalink does not work. This solution work for me, so it might be a help to anyone who has similar issues:
The solution is via FILE MANAGER in your Hosting provider.
- Login to your CPanel (Control Panel) or hosting provider
- Find FILE MANAGER
- Follow the steps below
- After you follow all actions, check your WordPress.
NOTE:
In Step #4: if you can not find file .htaccess, you might need to right-click on your mouse to UNHIDE so that .htaccess will show the files.
In step #8: Copy the code below, and paste it at the bottom of your file .htaccess
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecRuleEngine Off
SecFilterInheritance Off
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
SecRuleRemoveById 300015 3000016 3000017
</IfModule>
I hope it works. thx
