 * Your `add-search-to-menu` plugin seems to be the error.
 * Access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/plugins/
   and rename or delete the directory of `add-search-to-menu` plugin.

 * That error indicates Your add-search-to-menu plugin to be the error.
 * Could be cache:
    – **Flushing any caching plugins you might be running**, as 
   well as server and/or [browser caches](http://www.refreshyourcache.com/). Not
   just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
   If you are using SiteLock, manage your caching there. – **Flushing Managed host
   caches**. Managed WP hosting often has special caches. If your host has a “Purge
   Varnish” or “Flush Memcache” tool, try that. You can ask your provider to flush
   memcache and Varnish for you if necessary.

 * thanks, I varnished the internet cache as well as the host cache (using Gandi)
   but it still doesn’t work.

 * The error you posted above indicates `add-search-to-menu` plugin throwing it.
 * If you deleted that plugin, and also cleared all caches, then my suggestion is
   to contact your hosting provider.
 * Meanwhile Please check the error logs on your server for a more specific error
   message, which may give a clue to why this is happening on your website/server.
   If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.
