    Hi,

    We started experiencing an error last night with shield whereby it was throwing a fatal exception.

    PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '...../wp-content/plugins/wp-simple-firewall/src/features/license.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear7:/usr/share/php7') in ...../wp-content/plugins/wp-simple-firewall/icwp-plugin-controller.php on line 1523, referer: https://www.google.de/

    I have obscured the start of the path up until WordPress root.

    We are running WordPress 4.8.1, on PHP 7 with shield version 5.14

    Any help would be appreciated

    Cheers
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    This looks like WordPress didn’t complete the plugin upgrade properly and some files have been copied, and others not. The file throwing the error is the old version of the file, and it’s looking for a new file in the latest version.

    Best thing you can do here is remove and reinstall the Shield plugin. Unfortunately this happens on WordPress now and again where an update gets interrupted/messed up.

    Thanks

    No problem, thanks for reporting it. In the release we put out today, we’ve added some protection against this sort of thing happening and throwing fatal errors. Thanks! 🙂
