 * I am receiving this error: Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write
   context in /home3/faithepc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sermon-manager-for-
   wordpress/includes/podcast-functions.php on line 91
 * When I login to the file manager on HostGator, it looks like the plugin updated
   last night at 1:35AM.
 * I cannot login to my admin panel. I know I can delete the plugin via ftp, but
   then I lose three years of sermons. Any advice?

 * I used option #1, here: [https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/](https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/)
   if anyone else had this problem with the plugin after it updated.

 * Hey [@amichiganmom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amichiganmom/),
 * Thanks for reporting this issue, we will resolve it ASAP.
 * By the way, it is completely safe to remove the plugin via FTP, no actual sermons
   will be deleted, because sermons are stored in the database.
 * While we work on the fix, you can delete the plugin via FTP and upload the previous
   version: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/sermon-manager-for-wordpress.2.3.4.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/sermon-manager-for-wordpress.2.3.4.zip)
