 * Howdy Jack,
 * Sorry about that 🙁 If you also have the Awesome Surveys CSV exporter installed
   that is the cause of this. See this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/important-read-before-update?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/important-read-before-update?replies=1)

 * Hi Will
    Thanks for getting back.. I haven’t installed the exporter, only the
   main plugin.

 * That’s pretty mysterious then. If you have access to your server’s error log 
   that would help.
 * If you haven’t you could turn on WP_DEBUG to do that:
 * * login to your site via FTP
    * download the wp-config.php file * duplicate this
   file to create a backup (just in case something goes wrong) * replace this:
 * >  define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
   >  /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * * with this:
 * >  define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
   >  /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
 * * save and re-upload this file to your site.
 * Then you can log the errors and we can figure out exactly what is going on. You
   probably won’t want to leave WP_DEBUG enabled for very long – just long enough
   to log the errors for this issue unless this is on a testing/development server.

 * Hey Jack,
 * Can you temporarily switch to a default theme such as Twenty Fourteen and see
   if these problems go away?

 * It didn’t like that..
    I switched to Twenty Fourteen and attempted to create 
   a new survey but got the Error 500 message. I then attempted to switch back to
   my original theme but got a blank screen with the Error 500 message with no way
   of switching themes again. I hit the back button until I got back into my CP 
   and removed the plugin and I am now able to access everything as normal and have
   switched back to my theme. I have tried in Chrome and IE just out of curiosity
   but got the same results in both. I am now back up and running, minus the plugin.

 * Well, that’s a bummer 🙁
 * If you can get your server error log I’d like to have a look at it – if this 
   is a problem with Awesome Surveys I want to fix it so it doesn’t affect anybody
   else.
 * Just out of curiosity, what version of WordPress are you running?

    How do I get my server error log?

 * If it’s not immediately obvious from your hosting account cpanel, you’ll probably
   have to contact your host for instructions.

 * Aha!
    Having checked the error log I noticed there was a lot of references to
   Jetpack so I deactivated my Jetpack plugin and was then able to create a new 
   survey with no problems,no error 500 or anything (I didn’t save it however). 
   I then reactivated my Jetpack plugin and attempted to create a new survey, staight
   away I received the error 500 message.
