  Hi, I recently done updates to WordPress, WC & the theme and tested on my staging site first. However, I didn’t check anything in admin before updating the live site.

  This morning I was trying to add a new blog post and find that something is wrong – an issue which was not there last time I added a new post to my website.    I cannot edit old posts or save/publish new ones.  I am getting the error message – Updating failed. Could not update post in the database. 

  Do you know what could be causing this, I searched topics but couldn’t find anyone with the same error message.
