 * I had to delete plug-in after updating to 2.3.7
    It caused my site to crash. 
   After trying to reinstall, it caused a fatal error, so I had to delete entirely
   until the plug-in is fixed.
 * I’m running newest WordPress 5.0

 * Hello [@voiceofgarth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voiceofgarth/),
 * Thank you for letting us know about this!
    Can you please let me know what version
   of PHP do you have installed? This is most likely caused by using an older version
   of PHP and you will have to update. Here are WordPress’ requirements: [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
 * We are also currently working on an update that will be released today and should
   fix this, if you do not want to ask your hosting company to update.
 * Thank you for your patience,
    Mihaela

 * Thanks for the follow-up. I’ve since changed plug-ins for custom post ordering
   to remedy the situation. Perhaps the problem is with PHP. My hosting company 
   is using V.4
