Title: Critical error Last modified: January 27, 2020 --- # Critical error * Resolved [ageingdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ageingdj/) * (@ageingdj) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/) * Hi there, For the last week or so I have started to get the “You have a crtical error…..” You find what was causing it I did the disable all plugins and activate one at a time trick and I’m afraid it’s your plugin causing it. Any idea how to correct this (I tried rename the plugin folder)? Thanks PS Keep it simple please, we’re not all techies:) * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcritical-error-39%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Christopher Finke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cfinke/) * (@cfinke) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/#post-12370564) * When you disable all plugins except Akismet, do you still get the error? * IF you do, if you uninstall Akismet and then reinstall it, do you still get the error? * Thread Starter [ageingdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ageingdj/) * (@ageingdj) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/#post-12370573) * The error disappeared when I deactivated all the plugins and only appeared when I activated it again. I’m now going through all my plugins and activating them one by one (it also gives me a chance to see which ones I really need).

I’ve just turned on Akismet Anti-Spam and nothing has happened – typical! I’ll try the other plugins one by one and see what happens. The Custom Field was set up with a plugin : “CPT UI” and I’ve had no problems with it before this. * Thread Starter [ageingdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ageingdj/) * (@ageingdj) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/#post-12378515) * I’ve just turned on Jetpack [ith Akismet] and: * “There has been a critical error on your website. Learn more about debugging in WordPress.” * But when I turn off akismet with Jetpack activated there’s no problem! Help please.

If so, check the end of the file for possible information about the error. * Thread Starter [ageingdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ageingdj/) * (@ageingdj) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/#post-12378561) * I’lltry but I’m doing three other things as well! * Thread Starter [ageingdj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ageingdj/) * (@ageingdj) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-39/#post-12379067) * Blimey, what an evening, February’s gone work mad!!! (I know we’re still in January). Askimet is 4.1.3 Jetpack is 8.1.1 I hope that helps and apologise for not paying attention but I’m soooo busy.
