 * Seems that the lastest update left me with a fatal error. I had to remove the
   plugin (social warfare) It’s the free one that fails (and fails to install now)
   now the paid. The failure tood the whole site down
 * Warning: require_once(/home1/steve/public_html/voicesoflabor.com/wp-content/plugins/

 * +1 Same issue on production multisite instance. On another single site instance
   we’re seeing mangled styles but no “Fatal error”. Updated pro and regular versions
   to 3.0.1, no change. Removed Pro plugin, no change.
 * Had to disable plugin(s) for both sites.
 * Please take a look at this as soon as possible.

 * We are so sorry for the trouble! Please remove both plugins (your settings won’t
   be lost), then reinstall version 3.0.1, which is now available. If you are unable
   to access your admin, you may have to use FTP. You can download the core plugin
   directly inside the WordPress plugin directory, and the Pro plugin can be downloaded
   via this link: [https://warfareplugins.com/updates/social-warfare-pro/social-warfare-pro.zip](https://warfareplugins.com/updates/social-warfare-pro/social-warfare-pro.zip).
 * This tutorial ([https://warfareplugins.com/support/updating-social-warfare-social-warfare-pro/](https://warfareplugins.com/support/updating-social-warfare-social-warfare-pro/))
   explains exactly how you can safely update your plugins manually. (You can skip
   straight to 1min and 57sec into the video.)
 * That should resolve the issue but please submit a support ticket to [info@warefareplugins.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-407/info@warefareplugins.com?output_format=md)
   if you have any additional problems.
 * Thanks,

 * No dice. On my staging environment (multisite) I updated both plugins to v3.0.1
   and we’re still seeing a fatal error on any page calling the “social_warfare”
   function.
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function parse_api_response() on null in /wp-
   content/plugins/social-warfare/functions/utilities/share-count-function.php on
   line 106
 * Keep in mind many hosts auto-update WordPress plugins, so sending an email telling
   people not to update just one version, at the same time of the release no less,
   is not at all helpful or preemptive.
 * Good luck!

 * I got a similar error.
 * And I have to agree with [@firebrandllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firebrandllc/).
   Sending an email is not the way to go. I have auto-updating, so an email was 
   no help in telling me that my site was down due to a bad upgrade.

 * Same issue as firebrandllc exactly.

 * I’ve had to deactivate the core and the pro addon to get the site backup. This
   is a critical error for my client considering they just started running a national
   month-long promotional campaign, and now this plugin decides to be broken.
 * Waiting for that hotfix!

 * Same problem here.
    Update, version 3.0.1 is what broke my site, deleted the 
   plugin and had no site, now my hosting provider has to restore a previous version.
   Tried re-installing the old version and that didn’t work either. This is huge
   problem for my client’s business. So incredibly disappointing. Support is silent
   I see.

 * 500 error here as well, due to automatic update. Had to deactivate this plugin
   on all my sites via File Manager since I couldn’t get into WordPress.

 * Deactivation didn’t work for me. I tried that first. It completely broke my site
   and we are trying to conduct business. Nothing works, no woocommerce, nothing.
   It is being restored from a backup.
 * Cannot believe this happened and they are doing nothing to address it.

 * Hello, with version 3.0.2 no longer HTTP 500 error, but now the images of the
   entries is not displayed, everything is blank.
 * I have cleaned the browser and server cache but it remains the same.

 * Updated to V3.0.2 but it seems to have broken all javascript on the site. Menu
   doesn’t respond, pages don’t load (white screen).

 * Hi, all! I just wanted to let everyone know we’re working nonstop to address 
   bugs as quickly as they’re reported.
 * Regarding [@firebrandllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firebrandllc/),
   [@firebrandllc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firebrandllc/), [@kneesocks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kneesocks/),
   [@christifultz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christifultz/) sentiment 
   on auto-updating, we really hope to find a way to prevent this. It’s a challenging
   issue because both Social Warfare and Social Warfare – Pro are so dependent on
   one another, that a change in one inevitably affects the other. We will continue
   to find a way to make it so that the symbiotic relationship between the two can
   be less problematic when updated separately.
 * Regarding [@chickenmama](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chickenmama/)’s “
   support is silent,” I can certainly understand why it might look that way if 
   this is the only place you’re looking for support. Our small team of 5 has been
   working nonstop answering official support tickets (which must be submitted through
   our website) and responding to Twitter and Facebook comments/questions/messages/
   replies. Our developers have also pushed out several small updates this morning
   to address bugs as they’ve come up. If you ever need assistance in the future,
   it’s always best to go through the official support request form on our site.
 * If anyone else wants to get a previous version before the update today to roll
   back, our support team can send you the previous files to install until we’re
   able to work out all the current bugs in 3.0+.

 * Hoo boy. Still broken even after updating both plugins to 3.0.2. Same error as
   before.
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function parse_api_response() on null in /wp-
   content/plugins/social-warfare/functions/utilities/share-count-function.php on
   line 106
 * Starting to feel bad now, looks like this release was not at all ready for production.
   Let me know if you guys need any help.
