 * Hi All
 * I’ve deactivated all the plugins and reactivated them one by one. In doing so,
   it was the Gutenburg Blocks & Template Library plugin that was causing the below
   error message to appear on our site:
 * “Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable
   in /hermes/bosnacweb02/bosnacweb02bf/b1367/ipg.southamptonwoodrecyc/test/wp-includes/
   post-template.php on line 317”
 * You’ll see this if you visit at the moment as I put the plugin back live.
 * Any ideas what might be causing the clash and how to overcome it? I’m using the
   Astra Pro Theme.
 * Thanks
 * Rachael

 * Hi. Yes I am although I believe there are two issues at play as the host is having
   to restore an old version of the site. Will write again when the site is restored.

 * Hey [@rachaelclark64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachaelclark64/),
 * Gutenberg is a beta plugin that isn’t always stable to use so we don’t recommend
   using it on a live site. It’s meant to showcase and test upcoming Block Editor
   features so better to avoid it on a live site.
 * Let me know. 🙂

 * Hi Hardeep
 * Thanks for your reply. Sorry – I’m talking about this plugin “Gutenberg Blocks
   and Template Library by Otter”. Is that the one you’re saying is in beta? I can’t
   imagine it is? Sorry if I confused things by shortening it to just Gutenberg.
 * To sort the problem at the moment, we’ve disabled the debug mode in wp-config
   to stop the error message showing but definitely appears to be a conflict with
   this plugin. Any thoughts on what might be causing it would be greatly appreciated
   in case it’s opening up vulnerabilities to our site.
 * Thanks
 * Rachael

 * No, I was talking about “Gutenberg” plugin but as you said, it might be due to
   this one.
 * Can you re-install Otter to see if that fixes it? If not, can you give list of
   all the activated plugins on your website?
 * Thank you!
