Serious problem after installing 5.5 wp

    Hi, hope someone will help me out.

    After installing the wp 5.5 version I’ve found some issue. First of all my website was totally broken as I wrote above. I also tryied to disable all the plugins but it was broken but nothing to do.

    So I called my host for assistance and they suggested me to restore the database. And actually I did it. So the website apparently worked again. Yet, this is not true as matter of the facts.

    Indeed I’ve had this issue: https://ibb.co/mzT4jsb in all the pages or posts i try to edit. The message is the following: Notice: register_rest_route was called incorrectly. The REST API route definition for mc4wp/v1/form is missing the required permission_callback argument. For REST API routes that are intended to be public, use __return_true as the permission callback. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.5.0.) in /web/htdocs/www.emilianorusso.it/home/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5225

    I know I can get rid of it by changing “false” in debug of wp_config file but this will just hide a problem that is well explained in this page and i cannot understand how to fix it: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/ See the chapter permission callback when it says this is a consequence of the version 5.5.

    But what mostly makes me worry about is this: if I reinstall the wordpress version the website totally breaks again and I have to roll back my database to restore it.

    Does anybody can help me out?

    So I called my host for assistance and they suggested me to restore the database.

    That is terrible advice… unless your host didn’t have the full picture of what had happened to your website.

    If an upgrade breaks your site and you want to go back, you need to restore the entire website — the database and the old version of WordPress — not just the database. Restoring the old database while still running the new version of WordPress that broke your site is just calling for even more trouble.

    All right but what if I restore the old version with the old corresponding database and i will find the same issues as soon as I will upgrade the theme again? How I can fix the problem if I restore everything back so soon and so I won’t understand what was the cause of the problem?

    This is an issue to do with MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress. Are you using the plugin? If Yes, then it might be the problem.

    If there is nothing to lose, delete MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress plugin, clear cache and let us know if the error is gone.

    Hello,

    Plugin author of Mailchimp for WordPress here.

    The message you posted is about a PHP Notice which was added in WordPress 5.5. It does not affect plugin functionality in any way and can safely be ignored (because it is just a notice, not a warning or error) until we release our next plugin update, in which this is addressed so that the notice is gone.

    If you’re in a hurry to get the notice gone without disabling WP_DEBUG (you should), you can also download the latest development version for our plugin here: https://github.com/ibericode/mailchimp-for-wordpress

    Until then I also highly recommend disabling WP_DEBUG on your live websites. This is meant for developers to debug potential issues, not for any live production websites.

    I hope that helps. Good luck!

    Hi Elvis thank you so much for your suggestion. In the while I have installed wp rollback, a plugin that make me jump back to the previous wordpress version!

    I actually don’t understand why I had this plugin activated. Don’t know it’s utility. I can deactivated and the reactivate it inc ase I realize I would have losen something after.

    Maybe what I can do now is deleting that plugin and try to reinstall the 5.5 version?

    Hi Danny, thank you so much for your help.

    The problem is also the broken site when I install the 5.5 wordpress version, indeed now the website is visible because I rolled back to the previous version. I have the suspect that the problem was caused by mailchimp but not sure about that, Do you also suggest me to disable the plugin and try to reinstall the 5.5 wp?

    Hey @emiliano76,

    You can use the plugin and latest version of WordPress, but just disable Wp_Debug.
