 * Hi – thanks for your response and yes, I can confirm that I’ve checked that the
   PHP extensions are all installed on the server.
 * I’m still having the problems.

 * Hi – I managed to sort it! On your dashboard, go to Appearance, Customise, Colours&
   Background. Then scroll down to Header Slider/Widget Area background. Then you’ll
   see Colour Scheme of the Header Block and you can choose a colour. I just changed
   mine to White to match the page background. It ended up being a very pale grey
   but it’s not that noticeable. Hope that helps.

 * Thanks for posting a potential solution. I did instal the previous version of
   Mailpoet but, unfortunately I experienced the exact same problem. Something is
   causing very high I/O usage on my cpanel and my website struggles to load. I 
   post again the Error that I’m receiving from WordPress. This means nothing to
   me – but if anyone can decipher what it means and what I need to do, I’d be eternally
   grateful!!

 * I’ve deactivated all my plugins (except Mailpoet) and the problem seems to be
   solved. I then reactivate them one at a time and everything seems fine for a 
   while (no one plugin seems to be causing a problem) but then I log on next day
   and I have the problem again.
