# Warning JavaScript or jQuery problem in the site

 * I’m getting the message “**Warning: If you can still read these words after the
   page finishes loading, then there is a JavaScript or jQuery problem in the site**“
 * I can’t select tabs or ‘click’ buttons, ie Backup now.
 * I’ve seen some references to this issue in other posts, but can’t find a solution
   to clear the message and re-enable the plugin.
 * I have tried removing and re-adding the plugin.
 * I have a screen grab with the dev tools open, but there seems no way to add this
   to this request?
 * Please advise.
 * Thanks

 * It looks like you could have a conflict.
 * Can you send me your php error logs or can you install a debugging plugin such
   as this one: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-log-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-log-manager/)
   and let me know about any Fatal errors that you are seeing?

 * Hi
 * Where do I find the PHP error logs to send? I installed the debug-log-manager
   but it is not showing anything (and yes, I did enable logging…!!!)
 * Thanks

 * It looks like we are going to have to do this the manual way I am afraid (I was
   trying to spare you from this!)
 * Can you deactivate all plugins and check if the issue is still there?
 * If it isn’t can you reactivate your plugins one by one until you find the offending
   one and let us know which it is?
 * If deactivating your plugins does not help can you do the same with your themes?

 * I deactivated all plugins – still getting the error message and unable to select/
   click anywhere.
 * Tried to disable the theme, but the page that loads seems to have no CSS(?) controlling
   layout, etc?

 * When you disable the theme can you select one of the defaultwp 202x ones?
 * Can you also try downloading a fresh copy of the plugin and installing that?
