# Cannot delete fields

 * Hi!
 * I’ve come over this really annoying problem. None of the pre-inserted fields 
   will delete. I press the red x and it goes away. Then if I update the page or
   press the red update fields button at the bottom, it reappears. I’ve tried changing
   theme to a standard one and disabling all plugins.
 * Please help!

 * Are experiencing any other issues? I suggest trying it with your developer tools
   panel (in your browser) open so you can look for network errors. It may be a 
   security setting in your web server that is blocking the request.

 * Yes, also I cant add participant using the register form. Can you tell me how
   to do that? In firebug?

 * Try updating the plugin to 1.5.4.6, I think your MySQL server is using a strict
   mode.

 * I’ve now updated it, but it didnt fix the problem. Can I do any tests to find
   out if this is the problem? What should I tell my host?
 * Thank you for helping me : D

 * OK, well if it doesn’t fix it, you need to have a look at your PHP error log.
   Ask your web host about this. Do you have records stored in the database or are
   you still just getting things set up? You may want to uninstall, delete and reinstall.
