**Describe the issue / Steps to reproduce:**  
After press the add button in namespace area, a add dialog appears. after press finish, the dialog disappear and nothing else happens.  
In the network answer following error occured at server side:  
{“success”:false,“message”:“Die Namensraum-Konfiguration konnte nicht gespeichert werden”,“payload”:,“payload\_count”:0}

[846bccc35549ed99eaf484bf] 2024-11-17 18:26:16: Fataler Ausnahmefehler des Typs „Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionError“

the same at groups page with this error:  
{“errors”:{“dberror”:“Error 1146: Table ‘bluespice.mwstake\_dynamic\_config’ doesn’t exist\nFunction: MWStake\MediaWiki\Component\DynamicConfig\DynamicConfigManager::backup\nQuery: SELECT mwdc\_key FROM `mwstake_dynamic_config` WHERE mwdc\_is\_active = 1 AND mwdc\_key = ‘bs-groupmanager-groups’ LIMIT 1 \n”,“0”:{“code”:“unknown error”}},“success”:false,“message”:"Error 1146: Table ‘bluespice.mwstake\_dynamic\_config’ doesn’t exist\nFunction: MWStake\MediaWiki\Comp

**Expected behavior:**

Hi hype,

please run update.php. This should solve your issue.

hi Margit,  
thank you. that worked.  
But I saw another page, that is not working. Also after update.php.  
The page is admin settings and after clicking Notifications (Benachrichtigungen in german)  
The tab shows only a waiting progress bar, which is infinite and never ends.  
Perhabs you also know the solution for this problem?  
Greetings

Could you please do some client-side debugging as suggested here and report back with any error messages that show up?

Do I have to install a new module/addon to use this function?

As this topic has already been marked as “solved”, maybe we can create a new one for the “notification” issue?

As a first hint: Please update to BlueSpice 4.5.3. The error message you have shared refers to some module that has been renamed recently (`ext.notifications.subscription.set` → `ext.notifyme.subscription.set`). A full codebase update will most likely solve this.
