 * I have Elementor 3.16.6 and PHP 7.2.6 – newest version of this plugin (1.2.6)
   breaks the website. When website is opened, there is a message from wordpress,
   that a critical error happend. Disabling this plugin makes the website work again.
   I was able to download 1.2.5 from Wayback Machine and install it manually, and
   everything works again.

 * Can you please send the error message?
 * Also – WordPress requires you to have php 7.4 – can you upgrade your php version?

 * Yes, I am aware that the PHP version is too low, we will migrate the website 
   to a new server with newest PHP soon, and I can’t find any error message. The
   message is like this: [https://kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/wordpress-critical-error.png](https://kinsta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/wordpress-critical-error.png)
 * And earlier I remember that when something like this happend with a different
   plugin, I got an email stating what is the error and some stack traces, or more
   details. Here now I have not received any email with details and in the wp-admin
   panel I also don’t see anything anywhere with the details for it. 
   For now as
   I downgraded the version, and will soon migrate to newest PHP, this is not a 
   critical error for us and we don’t need a fix. Just letting you know that there
   is an issue in this specific case.

 * OK. thanks.
 * If you could get the error message from error log on your server – this could
   be actually a helpful hint.

 * I enabled debug mode in wp-config.php and upgraded Rife extension to 1.2.6 again,
   and saw this error:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in [PATH-TO-INSTALLATION]/wp-content/
   plugins/rife-elementor-extensions/includes/elementor/widgets/writing-effect-headline.
   php on line 256
