Hi there.

Before this ticket gets assigned to one of my colleagues, I will try to help.

That is a general error message and we can't know what is causing the error until we don't dig a bit deeper.

Let us share the steps that you can use to find out more about what is the actual error when you see a general error message like that one.

We can enable the WordPress debug log and recreate the issue to see if we are getting a longer error message that is more specific.

This will allow us to see if any PHP errors are being produced.

In order to do that, we can edit the wp-config.php file inside our WordPress directory and insert the following lines:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

Now, we can try to reproduce the issue once again.

We should now be able to locate the debug log in: /wp-content/debug.log

Paste the content (if any) on a site like pastebin.com and then share the link with us (only you and us will see the URL you are sharing, it is automatically hidden for anyone else).

Relevant Documentation:

Please let us know how things go.
