# Error with single author

 * I get an error message “There has been a critical error on this website” but 
   only with 1 author. Others appear as they should (example: [https://bestfx.com/review/centennial/](https://bestfx.com/review/centennial/))
   and I can not figure out what happened. I have not installed any new plugins.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-with-single-author%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@wbecker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbecker/) 
   Sorry for the
   delayed response.
 * You’d have to check the email your website would have sent the site’s administrator
   for exact details on which plugin triggered the error. Or, check your webserver’s
   PHP error log for more details.

 * I have gone through and disabled each plugin on my site one by one without improvement.
   Something appears to be stripping away the custom CSS codes and HTML codes I 
   enter in the “Book Description/Synopsis” text box. Links to authors and genres
   return errors. I’m baffled.

 * If the error your are referring to is that 404 page, then try flushing your permalinks.
   You can do so by visiting Settings > Permalinks on your website’s backend.

 * That fixed the 404 errors but that did not fix the stripping of HTML tags from
   the
 * On [https://bestfx.com/review/gettysburg/](https://bestfx.com/review/gettysburg/),
   the word “Gettysburg” under the **Tag:** should be bold and on its own line. 
   The next paragraph should start: “Recounts the events …” e.g.,
 * **Gettysburg**
 * Recounts the events …

 * Okay, fixed the problem of the tags being stripped. Added
 * `add_filter( 'rcno_book_description_strip_tags', function () {
   return false;});
 * to my functions.php
 * Still have the issue of errors with some reviews being truncated and without 
   a sidebar. Compare:
    - [https://bestfx.com/review/clear-and-present-danger/](https://bestfx.com/review/clear-and-present-danger/)(
      errors)
    - [https://bestfx.com/review/killers-of-the-flower-moon/](https://bestfx.com/review/killers-of-the-flower-moon/)(
      the way it should look
 * I think this is the result of a recent WordPress update but I’m at a loss as 
   to how to fix it or backup to the previous version of wordpress
