Issue: The supplied nonce is invalid

I just updated PHP and all SiteOrigin widgets display “The supplied nonce is invalid” when trying to edit. Maybe not all but most of them. This is really frustrating. What could be the issue?
Do let me know.
Thanks so much.

    Hi, thanks for reaching out.

    A nonce is a “number used once” to help protect URLs and forms from certain types of misuse, malicious or otherwise. WordPress nonces aren’t numbers, but are a hash made up of numbers and letters. Nor are they used only once, but have a limited “lifetime” after which they expire. During that time period the same nonce will be generated for a given user in a given context. The nonce for that action will remain the same for that user until that nonce life cycle has completed.

    Does the issue persist if you log out and log back in again? In addition, if you’re using a caching plugin, try clearing it.
