   Sometimes I got this error message when I try to send bitcoins , I don’t understand why ? PS: this happened after I encrypted my wallet , is it related ?

   Yes. Try it on a testnet wallet first. Read bitcoin-cli help encryptwallet.

   Please close this issue as this is not real issue in Bitcoin Core.

   I just send bitcoin : walletpassphrase ******* 5
   sendtoaddress “bitcoinaddress” amount

   That’s it and received the error that I wrote.

   I just did this:

   0bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress ...address... amount
   1error: {"code":-13,"message":"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first."}
   2
   3bitcoin-cli walletpassphrase ...password... 5 
   4
   5bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress ...address... ...amount...
   6...tx id...

   I can’t reproduce here. If the wallet is encrypted, I get either

   0error: {"code":-13,"message":"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first."}
   

   when the wallet is not unlocked or

   0txid
   

   when the wallet is unlocked at the time of the action. But this is in clean wallet with one unspent transaction output. You have to investigate which outputs you have to spent. What is special about your testnet wallet?
