 * Hey,
 * it seems odd that the update would cause any conflict to do with this particular
   part of the code.
 * If your site if completely unresponsive due to this error, you can first of all
   remove/move the “fontsampler” folder from the /wp-content/plugins folder to get
   the site running.
 * Can you let me know what version of PHP your site is using before doing anything
   else beyond the above?
 * Secondly I am wondering if this could be an issue with file permissions somehow.
   The error code above basically says a certain function cannot be found, but I
   can see the the latest version of the plugin definitely ships the file that contains
   that function (/wp-content/plugins/fontsampler/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/SimpleFunction.
   php).
 * Take a backup of the Fontsampler database tables (or better yet your entire site
   database) and try reinstalling the plugin fresh, or confirm with your host that
   the files of the plugin are readable to the webserver.

 * Hey, thanks for that info. The PHP version seems no problem, and I’m glad to 
   hear there was no bigger impact.
 * So to understand right though, this error comes always when you visit/enable 
   Fontsampler?
 * I suspect there is some permission issue or something like that. One thing you
   could try (if you have FTP access to the site) is that you [download Fontsampler 0.4.9 as zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/fontsampler.0.4.9.zip)
   and extract it on your computer. Then via FTP replace the extracted “vendors”
   folder from the zip to /wp-content/plugins/fontsampler/vendor – this will take
   a while because there is many unique files. Overwrite the files that are currently
   on the server.
 * Let me know if that helps, please.
 * If it does not, I think “re-installing” all of Fontsampler might be our best 
   bet, but before that you should take a database backup.
