 * Hi, [@whsgradnite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whsgradnite/).
 * I’m glad you reached out. I can certainly help you.
 * Based on the error log you shared with me, it looks like something was blocking
   the /wp-content/plugins/give/vendor/autoload.php file. Maybe during an update,
   this file was not carried over.
 * Before taking any steps for troubleshooting or updating, I highly recommend taking
   a good backup of the site you can confidently restore from. Having a backup of
   your site is essential to a solid workflow, and will allow you to restore to 
   a previous version of the site if you run into any issues. You can read more 
   about our top recommendations for taking a backup here: [https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/](https://givewp.com/backup-for-faster-troubleshooting/).
 * Now, you might need to ask your host to delete the give folder directly from 
   your server and then you can reinstall GiveWP. Can you give it a try?
