# Plugin causes 503 errors / database errors

 * Hi team,
    I LOVE this plugin, and have been using it for over 12-18 months. However
   I’ve just discovered my entire site was crashing with a 503 error due to this
   plugin. The same thing happened about 2 or 3 months ago.
 * Troubleshooting: I did a full deactivate of all my plugins and one by one re-
   activated them. In both cases (3 months ago and today) it was the Nested Pages
   plugin that caused the error – front end 503 errors / database errors.
 * I’d love to help you troubleshoot this plugin but I have no idea what’s causing
   it to crash the front end of my website. In my understanding this plugin only
   affects the back-end / dashboard end of WordPress.
 * Please let me know how I can help.
 * Thanks,
    Israel.

 * I can report the same problem. I have this plugin installed on most of sites 
   but first one and now another has been affected by 503 errors and through deactivating
   and reactivating, it’s clear Nested Plugins is the problem.
 * It’s a strange one as it works fine on other sites on the same servers.

 * Same issue here. Nested Pages breaking front end with 503s.
