Will not let me save update of any text widget

[Lzr0]

Whenever I am trying to update any text widget and save it, I am getting:
Service Unavailable. The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Apache Server at Port 80.

Otherwise, the site and the widgets are working, i.e. just width text update does not save.
WordPress 3.9.31
Suffusion – 4.4.7

You are on a very old version of both Wordpress and Suffusion. I suggest updating both and see if you still have the issue.

@Colinsp
I am afraid to update because in the past any major update used to break something in my site.
Thank you anyway, I was not actually expecting anyone was still volunteering to help on Suffusion.(-:

Hi, again, just for a reference, I did find a solution that seem to fix my issue: Appearance --> Widgets ---> Screen Options---> Enable Accessibility Mode.
My version is too old, maybe that's why it needs accessibility Mode for the text widget to save.

Nice you found a solution for your problem. But my advice is to still try to update your site to the latest versions of php (on your server), WordPress, theme and plugins.
You will benefit by more power and speed from your server, but much more important, updating the scripts is the first wall of protection against hackers.

I will close this issue as it is not related with the new versions of theme. If the problem remain after updating the site, please open a new issue, we will be happy to check.

If I begin updating php, theme and WP, in what order should I do it? Does the Suffusion 4.5.7 work with PHP 7 and WP 5.4?
Thanks

If it was me I would create a clone of your site either locally or in a temporary sub domain. I would then make sure I had a full backup as well. In the clone I would test the updates in the following order first plugins then Suffusion then Wordpress then PHP and then probably you will have more plugin updates to do. If everything OK in your cloned site then do live.

Yeah, this would be over my head.
