In reply to: Catchable fatal error… default-constants.phpThe site has survived the upgrade to WordPress 4.3, so hopefully that was the answer.

In reply to: Catchable fatal error… default-constants.phpHere’s a possible solution: the site developer has left two lines of code at the top of the functions.php file in my themes folder that I suspect should have been removed:
update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://www.elysiansingers.com’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://www.elysiansingers.com’);
I will take them out and see what happens.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Catchable fatal error… default-constants.phpAnother crash this morning (same error message), presumably a reaction to the WP4.2.4 release on August 4th (my website takes updates automatically). I have now been able to establish that my problem is the one described in the thread mentioned by brunopbarbosa above, namely that the site URL is being reset to O:8:”WP_Error”:2:{s:6:”errors”;a:1:{s:30:”wpdb_get_table_charset_failure”;a:1:{i:0;s:0:””;}}s:10:”error_data”;a:0:{}}. Hardly surprising the site is crashing if WP updates are doing that to it…

In reply to: Catchable fatal error… default-constants.phpI have the same issue (same error message, also line 101 in default-constants). The website has been completely stable for 3 years, but now this. It probably first happened on July 25th. I realised the site was down late on the 28th and managed to recover it the following morning by switching to a backup copy of the database taken by the hosting service on the 25th. It stayed up for 24 hours, but then went down again. I switched to a backup copy taken early on the 30th. This time the site stayed up for 36 hours before going down again, always with the same error message. The only thing about the site that has changed recently, as far as I know, is the WP update. Any bright ideas? Does the fact that it keeps tripping out at longish intervals provide a clue?
