 * Well somewhat funny. I get a fatal error trying to go to the Troubleshooting 
   settings screen. From tools > plugin detective but also when using
    /wp-content/
   plugins/plugin-detective/troubleshoot
 * So is this expected when the site has no errors?

 * Hi [@mike8040](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike8040/) are you using WordPress
   5.7? We will be releasing an update this week to address an incompatibility, 
   although I believe it is just a warning message rather than a fatal error. In
   case the issue on your site is different, could you please post the error messages
   you’re seeing on screen?
 * Thanks,
    Nathan

 * Well it was the white screen of death and fatal error was the description for
   the error that was pushed to the user. I test it on the staging site when I find
   time. And yes the latest wordpress release.
