Hi @Naqibullah_Asadi_Kar,

What happens if you disable the BrowseBySection plugin temporarily?

Hi @Naqibullah_Asadi_Kar,

We have a new release available for the “Browse by Section” plugin in the plugin gallery that should resolve this for you - can you try updating the plugin (in Settings > Website > Plugins > Plugin Gallery) and see if you can create a section now?
