 * Hello [@angela81103](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angela81103/)
 * There shouldn’t be any critical errors in our plugin. Here you can see the **
   1.4.0 version** report – [https://plugintests.com/plugins/wporg/xml-sitemap-generator-for-google/latest](https://plugintests.com/plugins/wporg/xml-sitemap-generator-for-google/latest).
 * However, older versions of PHP may have a bug, therefore we have released a security
   update (**v 1.4.1**) for you. Please [update the Plugin via FTP](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-manually-update-wordpress-plugins-via-ftp/)
   and that should fix the Parse Error issue.
 * If this doesn’t resolve your WP ADMIN access issue, enable [WP_DEBUG](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug)
   on your website for Error checking. You may have other Fatal Errors on your website.
 * Best regards
