    I upgraded Jetpack and now I get this message whenever I try to get into Jetpack, or view the settings, or deactivate, or anything. “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    Fyi – I do not get an email about this. What is causing this problem and how can I fix it? I can’t even deactivate or delete the plugin. Help!

    Thank you!

    Update – I went in manually and deleted the Jetpack directory under plugins. By doing that I was finally was able to delete Jetpack and get rid of the errors. I think I will use other plugins for the functions I need.

    We’re sorry to see that this fatal error happened to your site.

    Regarding the Jetpack upgrade process, we sometimes see this issue with other customers. There are a number of reasons that an automatic update could fail. Jetpack is a large plugin, with many modules and language files. This can cause issues with some servers when using the automatic update.

    To resolve this issue, Could you please try manually reinstalling Jetpack? To do so, download the Jetpack plugin here:

    Then, log in to your site via FTP, and delete the existing Jetpack plugin folder. You should then be able to reinstall the plugin manually by following the instructions here:

    Managing Plugins

    I would strongly recommend that you make a complete backup of your website before trying this.

    The issue with email deliverability is more related to your hosting and email configuration. This is not a Jetpack issue. You can have a look at a few guides below:
