Hello @dumingu!

Thanks for following up again!

tanking years of work because of a buggy plugin isn’t exactly the solution we are going for here

I hear you!

It sounds like a staging site would be a good idea. If your host doesn’t offer that option, we recommend WP Staging for quickly spinning up a new test site.

neither is hiring a new dev who is going to go through the same channels

The reason I offered the professional WordPress support link was due to the earlier offer to share your login details to your environment on this forum and let others handle the tasks for you. Kindly disregard it if you are not interested, please.

In the meantime, do let us know the results after you go through the conflict test procedures provided earlier.

Thanks!🙂

Hi @dumingu,

The following step would be updating your Altair theme. You’re running version 5.1 but there is a newer version available according to the theme changelog.

After that, if the issue persists, you may want to enable debug logging in WordPress. To do that, edit the wp-config.php file in the root folder of the site on the server. Add this:
```
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
```
You must insert this BEFORE /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ in the wp-config.php file.

As errors are logged, they should appear in wp-content/debug.log. You can open this file in a text editor and go from there.

Here’s more information on debugging in WordPress:

If you encounter difficulties you can ask your host to help you enable debug logging.

Change your .htaccess PHP version from 70 to 74. It worked for me.
