# Comment form error: Error! Action failed!

 * Have recently discovered that comments aren’t working on a site. It has the latest
   version of WordPress. Small number of plugins: All in One SEO, Official Statcounter,
   SEO Redirection, Simple Follow Me Social Buttons Widget, Simple Share Buttons
   Adder and WordPress Editorial Calendar.
 * I’ve disabled all plugins and tried the comment form but still the same error
   shows up: Error! Action failed!
 * The site has plenty of disk space available and I don’t believe it’s having a
   memory problem. It has plenty of bandwidth available.
 * I’m at a loss what could be causing this error message.
 * Website is at [http://www.middleagedmama.com.au/](http://www.middleagedmama.com.au/)
   Thank you in advance for your help.

 * Hi [@proverbs31woman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proverbs31woman/)
 * There is a plugin which is making this issue. Or may be installed theme. So you
   have to find it.
    1: You can disable all plugins and test comment form. if solved,
   you have to find plugin which is making this issue. if not solved.. 2: Switch
   to core WordPress theme like twenty seventeen ( [https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/))
   and test comment form. if issue solved, that means there is issue in theme.
 * Hope this will help you.

 * Thanks, I’ve already done the plugin test as mentioned above but didn’t try the
   theme. I’ll go give that a go and report back.

 * Ok, I’ve tried that too and didn’t work but once I disabled the plugins again
   then it did work. Thank you. Will now have to work out what plugin that’s not
   working with the theme.
