# Live edit doesn’t function

 * When I select “Live Edit” the buttons and sidebar are available. So I grab the
   Pootle Cloud template, drag and drop in to the page (+ sign) and it just circles
   and circles and circles… I have to physically close the page (leave page) in 
   order to do other things. Additionally, even without inserting, clicking on “
   Update” also sends me to the circle of nothingness and I have to leave the page,
   thus losing all of the updates that were made.
    I uninstalled & deleted the plugin
   and installed/activated again, but I am still getting the same error. I was considering
   buying the Pro version, but if I am unable to use the plug on this site, then
   obviously I would not. Is there a fix to this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flive-edit-doesnt-function%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi
 * 99% of the time this is caused by another plugin,
 * Try de-activating other plugins to find the culprit 🙂
 * Start with any caching plugins,

 * I have de-activated all plugins but for Pagebuilder and it still just circles.
   How annoying. I was considering purchasing the pro version to use on other client
   sites that I am updating, but I can’t have this kind of behavior. If you have
   any other suggestions to try, I’m open. Else, I guess I won’t be using this plugin
   any longer….

 * Hmm very strange,
 * 2 other things to try
 * 1) Could you try switching themes quickly (try the 2017 theme). It could be your
   theme causing the issue.
 * 2) Check what version of php your server is running on – make sure it is running
   the minimum that wordpress recommends i.e php version 7
 * If it still doesn’t work, could you email me at [jamie@pootlepress.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/live-edit-doesnt-function/jamie@pootlepress.com?output_format=md)
   and we’ll take a deeper look for you,
