 * Does anyone know where I can get 3.3.4 to reninstall?

 * I also need the 3.3.4 version. The new version is causing issues with the Elegant
   Themes Tablepress Styler and until that updates my website is in a bad space.

 * You should be able to roll back to the old version using the WP Rollback plugin,
   provided you can still get into your WordPress dashboard. I had an issue with
   the upgrade this morning and was able to roll back to the previous version.
 * Here is my thread topic. Tobias provided a fix for my issue. The fix was simple
   enough, although I can’t confirm that you are experiencing the same issue that
   I had: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-with-upgrade-to-3-4/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/critical-error-with-upgrade-to-3-4/)

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for your posts, and sorry for the trouble!
 * [@usbcha123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usbcha123/): In your case, this
   concerns only the Premium version of TablePress, and this likely is a conflict
   with the “Divi-Modules – TablePress Styler” plugin. As we are already in touch
   via email, let’s handle this directly via the premium support.
 * [@dittoddt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dittoddt/): Can you please provide
   more details on what exactly is not working? Just to be safe, can you please 
   try the idea from [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-on-wordpress-search-after-updating-to-tablepress-3-4/#post-19033249](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-on-wordpress-search-after-updating-to-tablepress-3-4/#post-19033249)?
   
   If that does not help, we should try finding more error information. If that’s
   not yet shown, please set the `WP_DEBUG` constant to `true` in your site’s “wp-
   config.php” file, see [https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/#wp_debug](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/#wp_debug),
   or maybe check the server’s error log file (if you don’t have access to that 
   yourself, you web host company’s support team should have access).
 * [@jimithing007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimithing007/): Yes, rolling
   back is an option, but I prefer to find the underlying root cause and fix that(
   as in your case). This will ensure that the actual issue isn’t just hidden until
   the next version — but if everybody just hides it and rolls back, I can’t fix
   it 🙂
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias

 * Hi [@dittoddt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dittoddt/),
 * Thanks a lot, that is very helpful!
 * I have just triaged two similar reports and have identified a conflict with the“
   Divi-Modules – TablePress Styler” plugin, which seems to be installed on your
   site as well. It is passing a wrong data type to TablePress, for the “Fixed Rows
   and Columns” module.
 * For now, you should be able to work around the error by deactivating that “Fixed
   Rows and Columns” module on the “Modules” screen of TablePress. Can you please
   try that?
 * I’m also getting in touch with the “Divi-Modules – TablePress Styler” team, so
   that they can fix this problem in their plugin.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
