As far as I understand, you already have one unconfirmed transaction and you are trying to send another or the you have an incoming unconfirmed transaction and you are trying to send it while it's still unconfirmed?

Either way, you just need to wait for that unconfirmed transaction to get atleast 1 confirmation before you can send your balance. That yellow exclamation is a sign that the source of your funds is still not confirmed on blockchain.

Mempool is full: you currently need more than 12 sat/vbyte for a fast confirmation.
If you're not in a hurry: just wait. Chances are mempool clears over the weekend, and your transactions will confirm.

I tried increasing the fees but then it says:

the server returned an error when broadcasting the transaction. Consider trying to connect to a different server, or updating Electrum
I think this means your increased fee is too close to your previous fee. Note that increasing the fee for your first transaction invalidates the later (child) transactions.

Transactions can only be confirmed when their parent transaction is confirmed. Certain miners would mine both the child and the parent transaction if the fees are high enough.

You would probably need a much more fees for a fast confirmations and without the details of the transaction it would be hard to estimate how much is required. Do you mind sharing the transaction IDs?

Hi,

I sent some bitcoin using Electrum wallet. In the history tab, I got this yellow exclamation mark next to my transactions saying: Unconfirmed Parent

Here's the screenshot

insufficient fee, your transaction is trying to replace another one in the mempool but it does not meet the rules to do so. Try to increase the fee.

This is the screenshot

I've done the following:
Connect to another server in electrum
update electrum to the newest version
use a free bitcoin accelerator to rebroadcast the transactions
The original fee is 2 sat/b, I tried increase fees a few time and managed to changed that to 6,7,and 14 sats/b respectively

But the transaction still not getting any confirmations
