# Delete button doesn't work

 * Hey,
 * I’m using the participants database and now I have my first little issue (after
   few perfectly years). The version is up to date.
    If I want to delete a field
   with a click on the ‘X’-button, the field appears to be removed. But when I refresh
   the site, it appears again. I’m able to change title etc., I even can add pages,
   but I’m not able to delete them.
 * I just found this, but it seems to be fixed: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manage-database-fields-renaming-groupsdeleting-groups-not-working?replies=16](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manage-database-fields-renaming-groupsdeleting-groups-not-working?replies=16)
 * I tried to delete it with Safari and Google Chrome on OS X, so I think my browser
   shouldn’t be the reason.
 * Tanks for help! 🙂

 * You’re right, it’s not a browser issue, but an issue with the translation files.
   It can be fixed if you know how to edit translation files, several of them have
   an error where the token {field} was translated, but it needs to stay in English
   so the code will work.

 * Thanks a lot! It has worked for me when I’ve changed the language of WordPress
   to English.
 * I can’t find the code where the token field is translated, only this one:
    #:
   participants-database.php:578 msgid “Delete the \”{name}\” {thing}?” msgstr “
   Löschen von \”{name}\” {thing}?”
 * There it shouldn’t be translated, the field name should be the same in English
   and German, right?

 * Ok… but with this it doesn’t work while WordPress is running on German. After
   changing on English it works.
    Little mistake in my first post: of course I wanted
   to say that I can add fields, not pages, I’m sorry. So everything works fine 
   apart from the deleting button.
 * Do you have any other ideas?
    Thanks a lot 🙂

 * OK, try this fix. You’ll need to edit the plugin file classes/PDb_Manage_Fields.
   class.php
 * on line 646, you’ll see:
 * `case 'delete_field':`
 * Change this to:
 * `case 'delete_' . $this->i18n['field']:`
 * Similarly, on line 658, change it to:
 * `case 'delete_' . $this->i18n['group']:`
