I got the “Your Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue” email.
\nBoth the main site and the wp-admin gave a “critical error” message.
\nThe email had said the culprit was the NinjaForms plugin.<\/p>\n

I went to the cPanel File Manager and deleted the Ninja Forms folder.<\/p>\n

I can now access the wp-admin, but the main site still gives a critical error.<\/p>\n

I tried restoring the Ninja Forms folder but nothing changed (wp-admin still worked, main site didn’t).<\/p>\n

I tried the first step on the “Debugging in WordPress” page (https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/debugging-in-wordpress\/) but it did not create the mentioned “debug.log” file.<\/p>\n

Any ideas what I should try to fix this?<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-16158669","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/16158669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/16158669\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16158669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
