Title: Cannot Save Settings Error in 7.9.3 Last modified: February 28, 2024 --- # Cannot Save Settings Error in 7.9.3 * Resolved [CK MacLeod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ck-macleod/) * (@ck-macleod) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-settings-26/) * We have been experiencing an error similar to the one discussed (exhaustively) here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/urgent-error-saving-settings-not-working/page/2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/urgent-error-saving-settings-not-working/page/2/) The rather odd workaround mentioned there (Customizing the Google/Apple buttons) did not help. * What DID solve the problem was rolling back the Gateway to 7.9.1 from 7.9.3. * We initially encountered the problem when trying to enable test mode. On the same settings page, the error highlighted a Bank Statement issue that was not correctable even after we visited our Stripe account and tried to update or re- save. The error message onscreen was “The customer bank statement is invalid. Please make sure it: – Has between 5 and 22 characters” I also see from the changelog that the descriptor statement was the focus of a recent update (7.9.2).This behavior occurs with all plugins other than WooCommerce and the Stripe Payment Gateway de-activated, a WordPress annual theme in place (TwentyTwentyOne), and the latest available updates of WooCommerce and the Gateway * DevTools Console shows a Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 () and the identified link is [siteurl]/wp-json/wc/v3/wc_stripe/ settings?_locale=user This looks highly indicative. Both this error and the specific bank statement error go away with 7.9.1 in place of 7.9.3. * We were also initially unable to de-activate the Gateway plugin itself – an issue that I believe others have reported in different contexts. We were able to force de-activation from from file management, and then to delete the plugin, before manually uploading the old version we had on disk. - This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by [CK MacLeod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ck-macleod/). - This topic was modified 2 years, 3 months ago by [CK MacLeod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ck-macleod/).

Please ensure that the statement descriptor in your Stripe account settings meets this requirement. * If this is not required, you could remove this information too. The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin should work without this too. * > We were also initially unable to de-activate the Gateway plugin itself – an > issue that I believe others have reported in different contexts.

Can you [enable WP Debug](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/) and also debug in Stripe setting and share the log found in **WooCommerce → Status → Logs** and inside the error log file generated on your server? * You can do this on a staging site without interacting on your live site: [https://woo.com/posts/what-is-staging-site-wordpress-how-to-set-one-up/](https://woo.com/posts/what-is-staging-site-wordpress-how-to-set-one-up/) * In the meantime, you can run a conflict test to help you identify the cause of the issue. More info: [https://woo.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/](https://woo.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/) * Looking forward to resolving this issue for you. * [tbone07734](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tbone07734/) * (@tbone07734) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-settings-26/#post-17462943) * [@shameemreza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shameemreza/) FYI having exact same issue.
