Hi Hannah,

Thank you for getting in touch.
What we recommend doing here is to enable the wordpress debugging functions to understand the error being thrown.

To enable the wordpress debugging you will either need to log into your website using FTP or using your Host's CPanel's file manager.

From there you will need to edit the wp-config file by adding the following.

// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

If the define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); function already exists you will need to change 'false' to 'true'

Once you've done this please revisit the page with the issue and let me know what the issue is.

Thanks,
Shane
