Title: Fatal error when loading editor plugin Last modified: June 13, 2025 --- # Fatal error when loading editor plugin * Resolved [Madlynn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m4dlynn/) * (@m4dlynn) * [11 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-loading-editor-plugin/) * Hello, * I have both burst statistics and Visual Composer installed for my page. I recieve a fatal error if I try to edit any page of my website with the VC editor and after deactivating plugin after plugin, I figured out that BS is the cause. I rolled back the Burst Statistics plugin to see what version worked last. 1.8.0.1 still had the VC editor working, but starting from 2.0.6 (two updates ago) the error starts to occur. I have contacted the VC support but after I sent them my debug.log file, they told me to ask the support for BS, so here I am. I hope this can be fixed, otherwise I need to use an outdated BS version or deactivate. * Thanks in advance!

If you install the WP Debugging plugin, you can copy the error here, then we can probably see what is causing the issue. * Thread Starter [Madlynn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m4dlynn/) *

ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-loading-editor-plugin/#post-18511306) * Hi [@m4dlynn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m4dlynn/), * It looks like Visual Composer is interfering with a default property in WordPress. * When I look at the WordPress resources: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_enqueue_scripts/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_enqueue_scripts/) * It says the $property should be a string. Visual Composer somehow breaks this default WordPress behavior, which doesn’t seem like a good thing to do. * However, I don’t want to send you back and forth between plugin devs, so I’ll catch this Visual Composer behavior on our side to prevent any errors from occurring on your site. * I have an update planned for next week, you can update to the latest version then. * Thread Starter [Madlynn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m4dlynn/) * (@m4dlynn) * [11 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-loading-editor-plugin/#post-18515545) * Thank you very much, I’m looking forward to it. If it should still break after the update, I’ll tell you but also contact the VC support again. VC is such a headache sometimes lol * Thread Starter [Madlynn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/m4dlynn/) * (@m4dlynn) * [11 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-loading-editor-plugin/#post-18526165) * So I updated my plugins today, including BS but the fatal error still occures.
