Or, if you can access your admin panel, just reactivate the Akismet plugin. * Thread Starter [sash_007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sash_007/) * (@sash_007) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-draft/#post-1546859) * ya i did it and then reactivated all plugins but that didnt solve the issue 🙁 * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-draft/#post-1546861) * You reactivated Akismet and `Call to undefined function akismet_counter()` stil appears? * Thread Starter [sash_007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sash_007/) * (@sash_007) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-draft/#post-1546867) * no the akismet counter appears alright but my main subject of topic that is i cant save any post from my draft isnt solved yet? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-draft/#post-1546868) * Ok, here’s what you need to do (and feel free to let us know if you’ve already done this): * 1. Remove the Akismet counter code (to avoid the previous fatal error). * 2. Deactivate all plugins. * 3. With all plugins deactivated, write a post and attempt to save it as a draft. * 4a. If you were able to successfully save the draft, reactivate each plugin individually, attempting to save a draft after each activation, until you find the cause of the problem. * 4b. If you were not able to successfully save the draft, reactivate your plugins and let us know. * Thread Starter [sash_007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sash_007/) * (@sash_007) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-save-draft/#post-1546871) * i already tried it as u read through my post from start? i even changed to default theme but there too the problem persists? * the sidebar fatal error is gone but the save option still is not working?
