   no chance elementer will help out as this is a thrid party plugin – sorry!
 * Anyway, I think the developer has already released an update.
 * Not that that helps you in your current situation. But future updates should 
   work once you get going again!

 * [@anand735](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anand735/) that was a not a url
   but rather a file name you need to access from inside your server.
 * So not the website and not the admin section provided by WordPress, but from 
   within your hosting account itself. Commonly that is cPanel.
 * You may be ablke to contact your hosting provider if they have support and get
   them to modify the file for you.

 * Hi [@jwsportstherapy2255](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwsportstherapy2255/),
   I don’t think Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin is actually managed by
   Elementor – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer-elementor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer-elementor/)–
   so no help from them I’m guessing.
 * I responded back on your original thread with site specific links.

 * [@jwsportstherapy2255](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwsportstherapy2255/)–
   Adding more information here for you as it related directly to your site.
 * Your hosting software that WordPress runs on is cPanel. This is quite common.
   You can see here [https://www.fiituk.co.uk:2083/](https://www.fiituk.co.uk:2083/)
 * Check your files and emails to see if you have been provided a login into cPanel.
   It has a file manager present that will allow you to see your installation and
   modify the file mentione above.
 * Once you comment out line 32, or just delete it, any further updates **should**
   just work.
 * Without access to the file system, I can’t think of another solution. Other than
   finding our developer. Or contacting the hosting company and see if they can 
   help.

 * [@jwsportstherapy2255](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwsportstherapy2255/),
   can you access the control panel of your hosting provider. There will be a file
   manager there where you can edit the file mentioned above. There is a fix out
   now (.30) so any further updated will be fine.

 * Do you have any more insight into the actual error message?
 * As a wild guess, **Elementor Header & Footer Builder** Plugin is quite common
   and has just now started causing issues to some people. If you have that installed,
   that could be your culprit – see here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-solve-critical-error-issue/#post-17754199](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-solve-critical-error-issue/#post-17754199)
