Title: cannot save updated settings Last modified: July 18, 2024 --- # cannot save updated settings * Resolved [Larry Franklin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry0492/) * (@larry0492) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-updated-settings/) * When I try to save the new settings, after changing some default parameters like the dwell time, in ml-slider, my screen goes blank white and nothing is saved. My error log contains the line ‘WordPress database error Table ‘wordpress.fake_status’ doesn’t exist for query UPDATE fake_status SET fake_status =’0′ made by deactivate_plugins”. What causes this issue? and can I correct it? I am running the website locally as an educational project (in preparation to revamping an existing website) in a raspberry pi 5 with 8gb memory, using apache2, php 8.2. The plug in is functioning and the process works on my raspberry pi 3B but not on the 5.

Maybe another plugin is having issues and this is affecting MetaSlider? * Regards - This reply was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/). * Thread Starter [Larry Franklin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry0492/) * (@larry0492) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-updated-settings/#post-17899299) * Can anyone tell me what this error.log message refers to?, and how to correct the issue? * [Wed Jul 17 17:25:14.031219 2024] [php:notice] [pid 634726:tid 634726] [client [10.0.0.114:11817](http://10.0.0.114:11817/)] WordPress database error Table ‘ wordpress.fake_status’ doesn’t exist for query UPDATE fake_status SET fake_status =’0′ made by deactivate_plugins, do_action(‘deactivate_wp-page-extension/wp-page_extension. php’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, wp_fake_url->deactivate, referer: [http://10.0.0.61/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=all&paged=1&s](http://10.0.0.61/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=all&paged=1&s) * Thanks, * Larry * Plugin Author [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/) * (@htmgarcia) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-updated-settings/#post-17899462) * The error involves an problem with a database table named “fake_status”. Given the fact MetaSlider doesn’t relate to that database table, an is not even a table from WordPress core, the problem is not related to MetaSlider. It comes from another place and somehow is causing issues in your site, likely also affecting MetaSlider as a domino effect. * Please note this forum is for MetaSlider plugin only. If you think the problem in MetaSlider is not caused by the database error you mention, share more details that relate only to MetaSlider. * Small tip: deactivate the other plugins to see if the issue is gone. * Regards - This reply was modified 1 year, 10 months ago by [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/). * Thread Starter [Larry Franklin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larry0492/) * (@larry0492) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-updated-settings/#post-17899514) * htmgarcia, * Thank you for your input. I have been chasing this problem for a few hours now and have removed all plugins except MetaSlider. The sleuthing has led me to / wp-admin/admin-post.php where I end up with a blank screen in my browser. Not being experienced in php debugging the process that halts the posting of the MetaSliders parameters to the page/website escapes me. I know that the plugin works fine on a raspberry pi because it functions well on my R pi-3B which except for its slowness and limited comm functions is very much the same as the R pi 5 in its setup. Can you steer me towards a solution? * Thanks, * Larry * Plugin Author [htmgarcia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/htmgarcia/) * (@htmgarcia) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-save-updated-settings/#post-17901125) * > know that the plugin works fine on a raspberry pi because it functions well > on my R pi-3B * Sorry.

The problem was that the php GP module was not installed my server. I located the clue in the Tools section of the WP menu and proceeded to find the way to install the module.
