Another 14.9 update crash
-
After updating to your version 14.9, and then updating core to 5.5.1, the website crashed. Not right away mind you! I checked the site right after the updates and it was running fine, front end and back end.
Three hours later, I received an email from my website that there was a critical error involving your plugin. Neither the front end or back end were accessible.
I renamed your plugin directory via FTP (to wordpress-seoHOLD) to disable it, and was then able to access the admin area again, and the front end loaded again as well.
The email said:
Your Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue
Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.
In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Yoast SEO.
When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.5.1
Current theme: bright-side (version 1.0.0)
Current plugin: Yoast SEO (version 14.9)
PHP version 7.3.16The email also shows this error message:
Error Details
=============
An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 8 of the file /{path to root}/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/src/helpers/current-page-helper.php. Error message: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement or after any declare call in the scriptI can’t easily disable all of the other plugins to look for a conflict; there is no staging site.
Hopefully this error message will be enough to help you?
Please advise. Thanks!
