Yes, All In One SEO is a good plugin, and the free version does what we need. I’ve been recommending it to clients for a while over Yoast, and we use it in house as well. It’s just a surprise when I get a message from a client with the subject “Red Dot” and a screen shot of the plugins showing the red dot beside a plugin I didn’t recommend and that she doesn’t need. I then wasted half an hour finding where it came from. This is especially annoying when I see that the red dot is an ad telling her to purchase that plugin.

In reply to: Cannot declare class WP_Widget_BlockThank you for the clarification. It seems that WordPress tolerated the old plugin until version 5.8 (new widget support?). I took a look at her plugins from SFTP and immediately removed Gutenberg as I knew it was no longer needed.
This post is for all the people who keep posting questions about this specific error and getting the usual “disable all plugins” answer. That’s hard to do if you don’t have access to the admin. Deletion using FTP or equivalent is all you can do.
I’m sure you have clients who never maintain their plugins but let their host update WordPress. I’m surprised that the host didn’t back off the update as this error breaks everything, including the admin.

In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WordPress Backup & Migration Plugin] Fatal Error after RestoreOne of my clients got the message “PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class WP_Widget_Block, because the name is already in use in … wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-block.php”
This was caused by the old Gutenberg plugin. Removing the plugin fixed the problem.
I will ticket about this.

In reply to: [Simple Access Control] Redirect to 404 instead of MessageYou need to add a redirect near line 104. That is where the code sets the locked text for a page.

In reply to: [Simple Access Control] Simple Access Control not working with website themeI don’t have access to that theme. This is a very simple plugin that uses postmeta to control the access to the page. If that theme is removing postmeta, aka custom fields on page save that could cause this problem. Please check and see if the sac_locked custom field is being removed.

In reply to: [WordPress Gallery Plugin - NextGEN Gallery] Deprecation WarningThanks Cais, I thought you might know about it, but wasn’t sure as it’s a relatively new Yoast deprecation. I run with debug=true on all my test and QA systems and these messages break some other plugins like wp-migrate-db which produces corrupted backups when a message is written at the top of the admin.
