August 18, 2018 at 11:26 AMHello, I added the wordpress install to my site and the widget gives us the following message:
Database Exception (#42000)
An internal server error occurred.
The above error occurred while the Web server was processing your request.
Please contact us if you think this is a server error. Thank you.
The widget is working at https://mredsanders.net but not working on https://jasonhicks.net
Any advice is much appreciated!
