Deleted a row of wp_statistics tables, but the website or admin area are still not back. Can you please help me with this? I am not a tech geek, but just a wordpress user whose blog just broke by your update – how can that be? 🙁 * [http://katrinhuth.de/blog/](http://katrinhuth.de/blog/) * [ktinka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ktinka/) * (@ktinka) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893162) * Fixed it. Will not reinstall plugin however. Too risky. * Plugin Contributor [Greg Ross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregross/) * (@gregross) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893226) * Try removing and re-installing WP Statistics, that warnings shouldn’t cause any problems. * [gbonvehi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbonvehi/) * (@gbonvehi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893239) * Hi there, Greg, the warning they’re receiving is because of the preg_replace_callback line in wps-install.php, line 223: `$final_report = preg_replace_callback('/%(.*?)%/ ime', function($m) { return $template_vars[$m[1]]; }, $report_content);` you should remove the e modifier (/im instead of /ime) to prevent it. * Cheers, Guillermo * Plugin Contributor [Greg Ross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregross/) * (@gregross) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893240) * Thanks gbonvehi, I’ve already committed that change for the next release, but it looks like they’re having a different problem was well. The above change will fix the warning, but the warning won’t stop the site from being displayed. * [jrgn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrgn/) * (@jrgn) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893242) * warning, same thing here…better make a hotfix or you will lose users * [maxsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxsupport/) * (@maxsupport) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893245) * [@greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greg/), indeed the warning didn’t alter site displaying. MSg came only right after updating. * Plugin Contributor [Greg Ross](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregross/) * (@gregross) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893246) * jrgn: can you check your PHP log for errors? * Anyone who is having this issue please do the same, look for anything with a “ Fatal Error” in it. * I’ve been unable to reproduce the issue and it seems to be limited to very few users so it is probably something specific to the WordPress installs you have. * [karlharshman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karlharshman/) * (@karlharshman) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893267) * Here is the error message I got. WP Statistics Version = 9.0 * Fatal error: Call to a member function get_option() on a non-object in $HOME/ wp-content/plugins/wp-statistics/wp-statistics.php on line 25 * [WraithKenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wraithkenny/) * (@wraithkenny) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893268) * `Fatal error: Call to a member function get_option() on a non-object in $HOME/ wp-content/plugins/wp-statistics/wp-statistics.php on line 25` * Same…whitescreen’d my site. * [WraithKenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wraithkenny/) * (@wraithkenny) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893269) * (If you rename the plugin file, and reload the site/admin, the plugin will deactivate, and your site will come back.) * [gbonvehi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gbonvehi/) * (@gbonvehi) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-updating-plugin/#post-5893271) * [@greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greg/) I think that load_plugin_textdomain should not be hooked into init but plugins_loaded according to [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_plugin_textdomain](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/load_plugin_textdomain) * Ken or karlharshman, try replacing in wp-statistics.php line 33 where it says ` add_action('init', 'wp_statistics_init');` with `add_action('plugins_loaded',' wp_statistics_init');` * Cheers, Guillermo * PS: This is untested as I’m not having the problem neither.
