Hi @sharpey,

Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.

I have tested it on my test site and it’s working fine for me using latest version of Shapely theme.

Can you please try temporary enabling [WP\_DEBUG](http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG) mode? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

`define('WP_DEBUG',true);`

You might already have a line for WP\_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true.

Let me know what errors if any you are getting when you face this issue.

If you are getting 500 Internal server error message then please try using the solution posted on the following pages to resolve it.
