 * Hello,
 * Since I have updated to the new version 4.4 I can not either add or update any
   user.
 * I have a blank screen with the message:
    “Error: empty name, empty message”
 * Of course, I have double checked it and I am 100% sure all fields have been filled.
 * This is happening only after last version update.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Diego.

 * I am getting exactly the same error. Also a new problem. I’ve turned off all 
   plugins, and that doesn’t help.

 * – Please check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message
   and see why it’s failing. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider
   to help you with that.
