    Here is the reply from Chatgpt to fix. Can you please check your code?

    That fatal comes from a sloppy callback in the Trustindex “Google Reviews” plugin: it calls array_unshift() on $links when $links is null. Jetpack/WooCommerce Payments is triggering the generic plugin_action_links filter in a context where $links can be null, and the plugin didn’t guard for it.

    Here’s how to fix it fast and safely. Get your site back up (if you’re locked out)

    1. Via SFTP/SSH or your host’s file manager, go to:
      wp-content/plugins/
    2. Rename the folder:
      wp-reviews-plugin-for-google → wp-reviews-plugin-for-google.disabled
    3. Reload wp-admin. (WordPress will auto-deactivate the plugin.)

    Permanent fix (edit the plugin)

    Open:
    wp-content/plugins/wp-reviews-plugin-for-google/trustindex-plugin.class.php

    Find the method that looks like this (around line ~328), e.g.:

    public function add_plugin_action_links( $links, $file ) { // ... array_unshift( $links, '<a style="background:...">', '<a href="https://...">' ); return $links; }

    Patch it to be defensive and to return early for other plugins:

    public function add_plugin_action_links( $links, $file = '' ) { // Only act on this plugin’s own row, not all plugins $this_plugin = plugin_basename( __FILE__ ); // or the main plugin file basename if available if ( ! empty( $file ) && $file !== $this_plugin ) { return $links; } // Be defensive: $links can be null if ( ! is_array( $links ) ) { $links = []; } // Your action links $extra = [ '<a style="background:...">...</a>', '<a href="https://...">...</a>', ]; // Prepend and return foreach ( array_reverse( $extra ) as $a ) { array_unshift( $links, $a ); } return $links; }

    If they’re hooking the generic filter, change it to the plugin-specific one:

    // BEFORE (too generic, can receive null and runs for every plugin row) add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', [ $this, 'add_plugin_action_links' ], 10, 2 ); // AFTER (only for this plugin’s row) add_filter( 'plugin_action_links_' . plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), [ $this, 'add_plugin_action_links' ], 10, 1 );

    …and then update the method signature to accept just $links if you switch to the plugin-specific hook. If you don’t want to edit vendor code

    Drop a tiny mu-plugin to harden the filter globally:

    Create wp-content/mu-plugins/harden-plugin-action-links.php with:

    <?php /** * Hardens plugin_action_links so misbehaving plugins don’t fatal when $links is null. */ add_filter( 'plugin_action_links', function( $links, $plugin_file = '', $plugin_data = [], $context = '' ) { // Make sure $links is always an array. if ( ! is_array( $links ) ) { $links = []; } return $links; }, 1, 4 ); Then

    • Re-enable the Trustindex plugin.
    • Update it to the latest version (this is a PHP 8.x compatibility edge case).
    • If the plugin updates overwrite your patch, keep the mu-plugin in place or ask the vendor to adopt the guard + plugin-specific hook.

    If you paste me the exact code block around line 328, I can give you the precise one-line change for your file.
