Title: WordPress error when replying also cannot delete topics Last modified: August 23, 2019 --- # WordPress error when replying also cannot delete topics * Resolved [trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/) * (@trailscotland) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/) * Hi, Having some problems with the forum plugin and can’t work out what’s going on. Was working one minute and now it’s not…. If I reply to a thread I get a white page with an error saying “The site is experiencing technical difficulties” when I click back on the browser it takes me back to the forum where I can see the post is successfully submitted. If I try to delete the post I just get constant loading symbol on the top right of the screen and then after I refresh the browser it finally deletes. * If I create my own topic everything works fine until I try to delete the topic. If I try to delete it via the dashboard I get another error then I refresh the page and it deletes but if I go into recent threads the deleted thread still shows and it also says that I posted it 50 years a go! Some weird stuff going on. Any idea what the problem is? I have already contacted my host who couldn’t find the problem and said to contact the app developer. * Thanks Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [gVectors Team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/) * (@gvectors-team) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11861851) * Hi [@trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/), This is a hosting service issue or recent installed/updated plugin conflict. I recommend deactivate those and test. * Let me know what error you get in dashboard when you delete a topic? * And please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Debug > Errors & Issues Tab, find error reports. Those may helpful to debug. Also in the Tables Tab check database errors. * Thread Starter [trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/) * (@trailscotland) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11861921) * Thanks for the quick reply. The host said it’s likely a problem with the app after investigating. There are no reported errors in the errors and issues tab. * Thread Starter [trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/) * (@trailscotland) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11862155) * I just deactivated all my plugins then tried to post on the forum and the problem happened every time so I’m not sure it’s other plugins that are causing the problem. * When I delete the topic from the dashboard I get the following “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” After I refresh the page the topic is gone but it still shows when you navigate to the forum on the website. * Thread Starter [trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/) * (@trailscotland) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11862325) * There is also no errors showing in the database tab * Plugin Author [gVectors Team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/) * (@gvectors-team) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11862665) * Ok [@trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/), Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and click following buttons with following order: - Update Topics Statistic - Rebuild Threads - Synch User Profiles - Update Forums Statistic - Delete All Caches * It you still see the same error, please open a new support topic in [wpForo Support forum](https://wpforo.com/community/) and leave some reference to this topic. * Thread Starter [trailscotland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trailscotland/) * (@trailscotland) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11864200) * Hi after clicking Update Topics Statistic I get a timeout error and the site doesn’t work for about a minute afterwards. All the other buttons work successfully but do not fix the initial problem. * Plugin Author [gVectors Team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/) * (@gvectors-team) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-error-when-replying-also-cannot-delete-topics/#post-11864340) * Ok, you have a big topic and your hosting plan can’t count and update such a large information in database. I’d recommend split that topic or use more powerful hosting plans. * For deeper support please open a new support topic at wpForo Support forum and leave some reference to this topic.
