# Plugin Update crashes WordPress Site

 *  Resolved [KurtGriffith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kurtgriffith/)
 * (@kurtgriffith)
 * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-update-crashes-wordpress-site/)
 * I had an update notice on the Google Listings & Ads plugin on my WP dashboard.
   
   The plugin refused to finish updating. I had to reload the page, and he site 
   crashed.
 * > There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin
   > email inbox for instructions.
 * So I FTPd into the site directory and removed the plugin’s folder and restored
   the site.
    So I am now attempting to re-intall the plugin from the New Plugins
   page, and the “Installing…” spinner has been running for approximately 35 min…
   I am reasonably certain that If I try to cancel by reloading the page, the same
   result will occur.
 * I have seen other posts on this or similar problems.
 * UPDATE: While I was typing this, the install timed out with the notice “Update
   failed.” Well, the pluging is now dead on our site, but at least the site is 
   still up.
 * Any insights?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-update-crashes-wordpress-site%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi there,
 * Could you please share a copy of your site’s System Status so we can get a better
   idea of what’s going on? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get
   system report” and then “Copy for support”.  Once you’ve done that, paste it 
   here in your response.
 * Also, please check the fatal error logs (if any) from WooCommerce > Status > 
   Logs and choose from the drop-down menu the fatal-errors.log

 * Hi [@kurtgriffith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kurtgriffith/),
 * Thanks for the system status.
 * Since this might be caused by a conflicting theme/plugin I would suggest disabling
   all plugins except WooCommerce and temporarily switching to a default theme like
   [Storefront](https://www.woocommerce.com/storefront/).
 * Then, delete the Google Listings and Ads plugin folder via FTP and download a
   clean copy of the plugin from this URL:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-listings-and-ads/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-listings-and-ads/)
 * From **WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Add new > Upload Plugin** select Google
   Listings and Ads recently downloaded and install it. Then, activate the plugin.
   Alternatively, you can copy/paste the plugin folder to the _/wp-content/plugins/_
   directory.
 * > Log Directory Writable: ❌ To allow logging
 * The log directory is not writable so it’s best to reach out to your host that
   can assist with assigning the correct permissions.
 * Before doing any changes you should always ensure that you have a backup of your
   site in case anything goes wrong. More info at [Backing up WordPress content](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/backup-wordpress-content/).
 * Cheers.

 * I followed the procedure above, installing the Google Listings and Ads plugin
   manually, and everything worked fine UNTIL I activated the plugin. Upon activation
   the Woo Commerce stopped functioning properly, displaying errors and then the
   site crashed. This was _still running_ the Storefront Theme.
 * Only deleting the plugin folder via FTP recovered the site. The Issue would appear
   to be with the plugin itself. I did receive an Admin email describing the crash.
 * At this point, I think I’ll be content to live without it till there is a full
   version update and keep my site and online store running.

 * Hi [@kurtgriffith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kurtgriffith/),
 * Thank you for notifying us that the issue persists. Would you please reach out
   to your host and ask their support center to share the content of the server 
   logs? You can find more information here: [https://woocommerce.com/document/finding-php-error-logs/#php-error-logs-on-the-server](https://woocommerce.com/document/finding-php-error-logs/#php-error-logs-on-the-server).
 * Since two weeks have already passed, could you share a new copy of your site’s
   system status?
 * Cheers.

 * Thank you for updating us on this.
 * Since the installation is currently `without Google Listings and Ads`, feel free
   to go ahead with installing [Google Listings & Ads](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-listings-and-ads/)
   it anew, and see if the issue persists.
 * Let us know how it goes!

 * I was able to manually upload and install the 2.1.3 update, and activate it without
   the site crashing. So far, so good.
 * Thank you for your assistance.
