Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 > I had moved the blog to a server running FreeBSD 12, apache 2.4, php
 7.4, and mysql 5.7 when this problem started. I am currently running
 WordPress 5.2.9 running Arclite theme.

 Just noting that WordPress 5.2.x does not support PHP 7.4, see
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-
 and-wordpress-versions/ PHP Compatibility and WordPress Versions].

 WordPress 5.3.x is the earliest version to support PHP 7.4, see
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/10/11/wordpress-and-php-7-4/
 WordPress and PHP 7.4].

 Does the problem still happen if you update to the latest stable WordPress
 version, 5.6.2 at the moment?
