Hello, I’ve just put our forum live but the new topic button just doesn’t work most of the times.  
When I click it nothing happens while everything else is still very responsive and it all works fast.  
So I’m not sure what’s going on.

Is there an error log or something I can see somewhere?

Version v1.7.0.beta10 +42 1.7.0.beta10 You’re up to date!

Try disabling third party plugins on [Safe Mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504).

Yeah that fixed it thanks.  
Turns out it was the discourse presence plugin.

So you need to remove the plugin from app.yml and rebuild.
