Jetpack update broke site

    Hi was editing my site and noticed some updates were available.
    Wish I hadn’t touched it now, I@m on my 2nd evening trying to fix it.

    Symptom: every time I activate Jetpack latest version (3.8.2?) the site crashes with a server error displayed
    Delete the plugin from the directory and site comes alive again.

    I’ve tried the following without success:
    1. move all plugins up a level (out of site) from plugins directory then activate jetpack = crashed
    2. changing to 2016 wordpress theme, then activating Jetpack = crashed
    3. Updating latest version of my theme, all new files. Activate Jetpack = crashed

    Error log says up until it crashed it was reporting this error quite frequently:
    [26-Dec-2015 12:02:52 UTC] PHP Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3345

    Now it says one of two things:
    PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/class.jetpack.php on line 1752

    or mainly this error which happens several times an hour every hour…

    PHP Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3893

    When I turn on debugging in the config file it says:
    Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3893

    Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use
    __construct()
    instead. in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3619

    Notice: Undefined variable: text_domain in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/carry-hill-plugin/vc-addons/post-list/redux-options.php on line 14

    I read about the warning to authors regarding the change in WordPress 4.4 which came into effect around October 2015? And the debugging suggests something to do with that change but deleting plugins and using standard theme should have resolved it but it didn’t seem to…

    Any ideas folks? All your help greatly appreciated.
    Darrell

    either “jetpack” and/or “carry-hill-plugin” seems to be the error. there may also be some other plugin(s) that are not up to date.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.

    Hi Tara,
    I deactivated all plugins, installed JetPack
    and the backend crashed out with the following:

    Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3893

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /home/emeraldl/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/class.jetpack.php on line 1752

    Does it point to anything?

    Hi, yes I tried that, site comes back but we need Jetpack to work the subscriptions and notifications.
    I’ve emailed the template support as I have 2 months support left, but no answer yet.
    I’ve installed a new wordpress in a subfolder to rebuild the site with but this time without the Carry Hill theme.
    A sort of exclusion build, but having issues connectig to the install.
    I’ve been short on time so I’ll have another go this weekend.
    Thanks
