What's going wrong
Owners who build pages in Elementor, Breakdance, Thrive, or similar builders report that publishing or saving shows a server error or leaves the save button stuck. Often the content is saved anyway, which causes confusion. Disabling the SEO plugin stops the error in each case. Some owners found that a link counter feature or a specific version triggers it. Agencies managing many client sites need a repeatable test that shows which plugin combination breaks saving.
