 * Hello!
    Matomo produced a fatal Error on my WordPress Site. I couldn’t login,
   fortunately I could deactivate Matomo through my hosting admin panel. Now I can
   login again.
 * Everytime I activate Matomo again, I lose access to the WordPress Dashboard.
 * This is the Error Message I got (partially in German):
 * ”
    Aktuelles Plugin: Matomo Analytics – Ethical Stats. Powerful Insights. (Version
   1.3.1) PHP-Version 7.3.20-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
 * Fehler-Details
    ============== Ein Fehler vom Typ E_COMPILE_ERROR wurde in der
   Zeile 62 der Datei /home/wp/disk/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/matomo/classes/

   required ‘/home/wp/disk/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/matomo/app/bootstrap.php’(
   include_path=’.:/usr/share/php’) ”
 * Thanks for any help!
    Angie.

 * Hi [@angiepunkt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angiepunkt/) Is there a 
   chance this maybe refers to this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/matomo/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/matomo/)?
   Could you maybe create a support issue in our plugin for this? And then ideally
   also post the output of the system report there? [https://matomo.org/faq/wordpress/how-do-i-find-and-copy-the-system-report-in-matomo-for-wordpress/](https://matomo.org/faq/wordpress/how-do-i-find-and-copy-the-system-report-in-matomo-for-wordpress/)
 * It seems to detect the Matomo directory wrong and I’ll be happy to look into 
   it. Maybe some issue with symlinks or something.

 * Yes, this one is not related to WP-Matomo, so I will mark this as “Not a support
   question” here. If anyone gets here looking for this issue, please check this
