Welcome @Yoruba-Dragon !

We’re going to need more details about the issue you’re facing. Please post the complete error message and traceback from the server console, along with a description of the symptoms you’re seeing.

Note: When posting code, templates, error messages, or other preformatted text here, enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted. (I have taken the liberty of correcting your original posts. Please remember to do this in the future.)

Thank you, it is my first time.

No worries, we’re here to help.

I do need to point out that you need to use the backtick character - ` (not an apostrophe - ' or any type of “smart quote”), and the line of three backticks must be lines by themselves. (Can’t be part of another line.) Again, I’ve fixed this for you.

We still need to see the error message and traceback along with a better description of what the issue is.
