Had to get help from my host which helped me identify this update to the plugin as the issue. Had to delete it from cPannel web tools. Site up and running again without issue after plugin deleted. * It is truly too bad as I really like the idea of the plugin. In concept it is a home run. Unfortunately, it just isn’t ready I guess. * [ze3kr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ze3kr/) * (@ze3kr) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-update-plugin-fail/#post-9368536) * I also got 503 error until I delete this plugin * [patwist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patwist/) * (@patwist) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-update-plugin-fail/#post-9368542) * Hello, I always update plugins one by one so I know that this plugin caused ** Error 503 – Service temporarily unavailable on my site .

Since Scriptburn is ignoring the issue, I suggest you go to their website where you can download version 2.0.4 which works. [http://scriptburn.com/downloads/wp-hide-post/](http://scriptburn.com/downloads/wp-hide-post/) * Edit: Don’t update it unless Scriptburn releases a fix. - This reply was modified 8 years, 10 months ago by [Kilbey62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kilbey62/). * [abasmadjian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abasmadjian/) * (@abasmadjian) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-update-plugin-fail/#post-9368840) * Same problem. I updated the plugin tonight to 2.0.6 and it broke my site. Contacted my webhosting provider and they helped me track it down. Luckily I had an earlier version of the plugin stored on my computer and was able to recover, but the site was down for over two hours while we worked through it! Don’t update! * [Tikatu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tikatu/) * (@tikatu) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-update-plugin-fail/#post-9368868) * I had the same issue. I got into my backend on my webhost and renamed the plugin.( Thanks, WPChina, for the idea!) I hope the developer goes over the script carefully to find whatever is giving us all this trouble and fixes it; I’ve found the plugin to be really helpful up to now.
