I had created a custom block for an email subscription form but found out I couldn't just copy from old site. I erased all the code (as it displayed all the HTML code) but it keeps showing up in pages/posts. I am sure it's a quick fix but I cannot find how to do it. Help?

Thanks! The site was on PHP 7.0. With assistance from my hosting provider, I updated to PHP 7.4 and now I have access to the site again. No database re-import required.

Locked out of site after updating modules
The best you can do is test and report. If you find a contrib that doesn't work in php 8.3, create an issue in its queue so it gets fixed. In my experience, I've found that 7.4 is safest...

Hi argiepiano, Some contrib will not work in php 7.2 or lower, and some will not on PHP 8.1 or higher. Is there a way to find out which is the optimal PHP version for a...
Locked out of site after updating modules
This sounds like a combination of a buggy module and the "wrong" version of PHP. The fact that you are being redirected to the maintenance page may be an indication that your site was put on...

Anybody have any ideas?
I did not understand what you meant to be honest.
I had created a custom block (https://docs.backdropcms.org/documentation/blocks) dor an email subscription box, but it showed all the HTML code I copied from the original.
Now, somehow, I have managed to delete it. But I don't know how ...
Thanks anyway.
@lee - I am also a little unsure what you are trying to do. Let me see if I understand.
1) You created a custom block as admin of your site (you did not create a custom module) in the UI or user interface?
2) You then tried to delete the block, but the block keeps showing up on your site?
If I understand this correctly, I can suggest a few things that MIGHT help.
A) When you create a custom block, you also must place the block on a layout. Be sure to check all your layouts and remove the block from the layouts.
B) If you remove or edit a block on a layout, you must also save the layout after making this change. It is easy to forget this step. Maybe sure that you deleted the block AND then saved the layout afterwards.

If this is not helpful. Can you provide us with more information?

- More information about how you created and how you deleted the block.
