 * Looks like about a day ago this started spamming the error below. I’ve found 
   it only does this when “WP Super Cache” is enabled. The strange thing is that
   my cache plugin was last updated 4 months ago, and I’ve been using these 2 together
   for years. No other changes to the site.
 * I’ve went through purged and rebuilt the wp super cache ‘cache’ with autoptimize
   disabled, then re-enabled and that doesn’t seem to have helped.
 * Right now I have left autoptimize disabled to keep the website up, otherwise 
   this will generate a error 500 for our users.
 * Error output from access.log:
