 * Now, how come that suddenly pages don’t load – like All Pages and All Posts –
   and the cause turns out to be a plugin that had been activated for months already,
   during which everything worked fine?
    The log file giving the following totally
   unclear error message: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/
   public/sites/www.******.com/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 522
 * This has less to do with a plugin than with WordPress.
    What is happening?? I
   had to deactivate a plugin that had been running for months just to get things
   working again. And I suspect it was this plugin because it was first in the list(
   404page; so now I am without custom 404 page, thankyouverymuch).
 * This stuff with plugins happens more often.
    Why doesn’t WordPress this more 
   robust?

 * All Pages and All Posts (and some other admin pages) worked again after deactivating
   404Page plugin.
 * But note: this plugin ran without problems for months!
 * What has changed, was installing the Elegant Themes admin plugin (for support).
   
   But deactivating this one, and uninstalling, did not do a thing. But somehow 
   I think it affected everything. So it is not about the 404Page plugin. It is 
   more about a seemingly not very robust plugin system, together with absolutely
   uninformative logging.

 * The plugin shows go for version 7.4.2 so should be good.
 * If you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their 
   official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community,
   and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people
   to those official locations.

 * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would
   not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is
   one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors.
   The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

 * Ha, but this has nothing to do with either the plugin nor the theme.
    Encountered
   it before with other themes, and other plugins, that all worked fine, until something
   went wrong. Out of the blue.
 * Again, without any helpful logmessages from WordPress.
    This is a deep rooted
   problem in WordPress’ plugin system. The plugin is okay, WordPress should make
   its plugin system more robust, and also provide better log messages

 * Having the same problem I was able to get around it by going to “Appearance->
   404 Error Page” and deselecting the “Hide the selected page from the Pages list”
   option.
