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://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/not-able-to-solve-critical-error-issue/#post-17754199
Thanks Geoff, I see a lot of people are having the same problem. I don’t know how to disable the plugin if I can’t log on to our admin panel?
I spoke to the developer who is hosting our website who also stated that the hosting server has scheduled maintenance and might be the culprit
@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/
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.
Thanks Geoff, I can’t access C panel so will try our hosting provider again. I’ve seen this has happened before – any likelihood that Elementor will debug/provide an update in the short term?
@jwsportstherapy2255 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!
If we have auto-updates, will it not automatically update our end?
Thank you for your help, and being patient.
