I recently upgraded my WordPress CiviCRM from 5.25 to 5.28 and in doing so needed to migrate the SQL old 5.5 database to 5.7. The upgrades went fine, but I now have an error when trying to send group emails through CiviMail:

Error in call to Mailing_send_test : DB Error: unknown error

I've tried cleaning up caches but stumped for any other ideas. Please help.

Kind regards, Alex

Alex, Welcome to Civi stackexchange.

If the server is running with global transaction identifiers (GTIDs) enabled (gtid_mode=ON), do not enable binary logging. Try turning it off

  • Thanks for the prompt reply. These are the settings - gtid_mode=OFF and log_bin=ON. Perhaps setting enforce_gtid_consistency=OFF may fix it?

  • Yes may be... Can you try.. Aug 28, 2020 at 0:09
  • Oof. Seems that we can't get admin privileges on phpMyAdmin to change variables, as a result of shared hosting.
