 * Hi [@coachb67](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coachb67/)
 * Can you check with your hosting provider what is current value for max_execution_time
   and increase to 300 and see if that helps?
 * Kind Regards,
   Kris

 * When that issue occurred, were you installing some theme and/or plugin?

 * I wouldn’t expect you to need to increase the execution time for this and this
   type of error probably hints as something bigger going wrong.
 * If the email didn’t send, the PHP may not be working to send it, but maybe it
   logged an error at least? You can use this [guide on debugging ](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/)
   if needed to help narrow down the issue by seeing if you can get an error message.
   It is also possible your host can provide this information as well

   Thank you for replying,
   I have “enlisted” the creator of the theme, hopefully they will be able to find
   the sollution. I truly am not sure as to when it has happened, because the site
   has been working OK, even after updating to 6.9. But there was an error that 
   came up that I discovered yesterday, and that was the front page “slider function”
   did not present the text “attached” to the photos (“error in line 120” on a theme
   page). This was corrected with an update of the theme, but the menu issue did
   not correct itself.I assume that some sort of update has been done, concidering
   the “slider issue”, but I am not able to find where it has happened, and enabling
   error messaging only brought the above error message, so it seems not to have
   occurred as a result of a plug-in update either, as far as my limited knowledge
   of these things is concerned.Again, hopefully the theme designer are able to 
   provide a sollution, if not, I might have to get back here and keep digging and
   beg for help! 😉Again, thank you for replying! 🙂JonB, Norway
