Title: WordPress E_ERROR With Updraft Plus Last modified: October 26, 2023 --- # WordPress E_ERROR With Updraft Plus * Resolved [samster11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samster11/) * (@samster11) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-e_error-with-updraft-plus/) * Hello, I recently got an automated email from WordPress saying it triggered an error with the UpdraftPlus plugin. * After I got this error, I updated our WordPress version and UpdraftPlus version but the error is still there. * What do you think is the issue? * ```wp-block-code Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email. In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore. First, visit your website (site) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (site / wp-login.php?action[%24testing]=1 ) and check for any visible issues. Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further. If your site appears broken and you can't access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special "recovery mode". This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further. (recovery site) To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don't worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires. When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information: WordPress version 6.1.4 Current theme: GeneratePress (version 3.2.4) Current plugin: UpdraftPlus - Backup/Restore (version 1.23.3) PHP version 8.1.24 Error Details ============= An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 555 of the file /homepages/28/d815727939/htdocs/el2020/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/class-updraftplus.php.

The “page” that’s being visited doesn’t look valid; it looks like someone (or a bot) probing the site; however, it’s triggering a (otherwise harmless) PHP error in UpdraftPlus on PHP versions 8.0 and later. I’ve tweaked our code so that this won’t happen in the next release. * Thread Starter [samster11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samster11/) * (@samster11) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-e_error-with-updraft-plus/#post-17153365) * Thanks David.
