 * I took a screenshot to show the file path which caused a fatal error and site
   crash. I had to login with recovery mode and disable the plugin.

 * We understand you are getting the “failed to open stream: No such file or directory
   in” error messages. This issue occurs when the plugin installation or update 
   couldn’t complete correctly. The fatal error is telling you that the plugin couldn’t
   find one of the core Yoast SEO plugin files. In this case, could you please reinstall
   it manually to see if this resolves the issue?
 * You can learn more about how to update manually using FTP here: [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/#manual](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/#manual).
   You will need an FTP program such as FileZilla and your FTP details, which can
   be obtained from your host provider.
