Would you please let us know the full version of the PHP that is used on your end? * Would you please try upgrading PHP version and seeing if the issue will be resolved? * [@ralph_rm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ralph_rm/) Thank you for chiming in here. Indeed, the plugin can be deactivated from the site’s file manager. * Please go to wp-content/plugins/ and look for the `wp-hummingbird` folder. Please rename it and you should be able to access the wp-admin. This action will deactivate the Hummingbird plugin. * Let us know how it went! * Kind regards, Nastia * [thetrendingwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetrendingwave/) * (@thetrendingwave) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11915679) * I update the hummingbird plug in on 2 of my websites.

Could you please try to edit hummingbird-performance/admin/pages/class-upgrade.php and on line 12 replace `use Hummingbird\Core\Settings;` with `use Hummingbird\Core\Settings as Settings_Module;` and on line 27 replace `$settings = Settings::get_settings(' settings' );` with `$settings = Settings_Module::get_settings( 'settings' );` * This can also be fixed by updating to a recent PHP version. * Best regards, Anton * [thetrendingwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetrendingwave/) * (@thetrendingwave) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11915930) * I have no clue how to do any of that. Im not a programer. I just want to have access to my dashboard * [Anton Vanyukov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vanyukov/) * (@vanyukov) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11915935) * [@thetrendingwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetrendingwave/), * An update should be available within a few hours. Alternatively, you can ask your host to update the PHP version, or temporarily disable Hummingbird for you, by renaming the wp-content/hummingbird-performance folder. * Best regards, Anton * [thetrendingwave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetrendingwave/) * (@thetrendingwave) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11916005) * Should i just wait? * When you do the update. Everything should be back to normal? * [Anton Vanyukov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vanyukov/) * (@vanyukov) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11916008) * Yes, but you’d need to update the plugin. So you will need to either download an updated version and replace the files via FTP, or you will need to disable the current plugin, by renaming the plugin folder. * Best regards, Anton * [Anton Vanyukov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vanyukov/) * (@vanyukov) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-11916370) * Update with a fix has just been release.

After that – update the plugin and all should work fine. * Another way to do it would be to just replace the files from the latest release: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hummingbird-performance.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hummingbird-performance.zip) * Best regards, Anton * [hectormonteiro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hectormonteiro/) * (@hectormonteiro) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-12376540) * I tried to install the hummingbird plugin free, and it causes the wordpress admin dashboard access crashed.

If your site is still not loading, as a quick fix you can access your WP files via FTP or cPanel, go to wp-content/plugins folder and rename “ hummingbird-performance” folder which will disable the plugin and your site should load again after that. * Cheers, Predrag Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Fatal error causing wordpress wp-admin login crashed’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/hummingbird-performance/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=2633221) * [Hummingbird Performance - Cache & Page Speed Optimization for Core Web Vitals | Critical CSS | Minify CSS | Defer CSS Javascript | CDN](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hummingbird-performance/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hummingbird-performance/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Predrag – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support1/) * Last activity: [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-causing-wordpress-wp-admin-login-crashed/#post-12376990) * Status: resolved
