Title: Updated Webcomic, site exploded Last modified: January 29, 2018 --- # Updated Webcomic, site exploded * Resolved [keiiii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keiiii/) * (@keiiii) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/) * I just updated the Webcomic plugin and nothing works anymore. And I do mean nothing. Every page of the site (including the WP dashboard) I try to access just gives me this: * > Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Webcomic requires > PHP 7 or later.’ in /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/comic/plugins/webcomic/webcomic. > php:19 Stack trace: #0 /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/wp-settings.php(305): > include_once() #1 /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/wp-config.php(106): require_once(‘/ > home/keii4ii/h…’) #2 /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/wp-load.php(37): require_once(‘/ > home/keii4ii/h…’) #3 /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/wp-blog-header.php(13): > require_once(‘/home/keii4ii/h…’) #4 /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol.com/index.php( > 17): require(‘/home/keii4ii/h…’) #5 {main} thrown in /home/keii4ii/heartofkeol. > com/comic/plugins/webcomic/webcomic.php on line 19 * Since I can’t access the dashboard I don’t know how I can fix this? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fupdated-webcomic-site-exploded%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9915654) * Apologies for the trouble Keiiii. If you have FTP access to your site, [download Webcomic 4.4.1](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/webcomic.4.4.1.zip) and upload it to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory, replacing the existing` webcomic` folder. * If you have access to your web host dashboard, you might see if there’s a way to turn PHP 7 on. I’m not sure why WordPress didn’t disable Webcomic 5 when it encountered that error, but switching to PHP 7 should eliminate that error and get Webcomic 5 working. * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9915669) * Apologies, I should’ve read the error; it looks like you have your plugins in a `/comic/plugins` directory; you’ll want to put Webcomic 4.4.1 there (replacing the existing `webcomic` folder). * Thread Starter [keiiii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keiiii/) * (@keiiii) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9915688) * Thank you for the quick response! Crisis has been averted for now. I’ll see what kinda things I have access to with regards to my web host. * [artesiramanga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artesiramanga/) * (@artesiramanga) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9947617) * The same happens to me. I updated and the web gave me a fatal error. * I had to wait for the login to re-enter. But it does not let me activate the plugin and it gives me this message. * “Webcomic requires PHP 7 or later.” * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9948210) * Apologies for the trouble, [@artesiramanga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artesiramanga/). Webcomic 5 _does_ require PHP 7; early releases handled this poorly, but as of Webcomic 5.0.2 you should just see that error when you try to upgrade to or activate Webcomic 5 without at least PHP 7. Most web hosts will let you turn PHP 7 on from your hosting dashboard. * [artesiramanga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artesiramanga/) * (@artesiramanga) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9948322) * Sorry for my English but I understood that there will be another version of webcomic that can be used with php7? * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9948328) * No worries [@artesiramanga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artesiramanga/). Webcomic requires PHP 7 (or greater) starting with Webcomic 5.0.0. Trying to activate or upgrade to Webcomic 5 with an older version of PHP will result in an error. * [artesiramanga](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artesiramanga/) * (@artesiramanga) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9948424) * I mean my server needs a php7. It is understood. Thank you. * [dotproblems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotproblems/) * (@dotproblems) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9955425) * The same thing happened to me however when I rolled the plugin back to the previous version ALL my webcomics except my most recent one are missing yet show in the admin panel. How do I fix that? * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9956690) * Apologies for the trouble [@dotproblems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotproblems/); can you share a link to your site? * [dotproblems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotproblems/) * (@dotproblems) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9961247) * [http://www.dotproblems.com/](http://www.dotproblems.com/) * Any help would be great! * Thanks!! * [dotproblems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotproblems/) * (@dotproblems) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9976328) * So is it completely borked [@mgsisk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/)? * Plugin Author [Mike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgsisk/) * (@mgsisk) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-webcomic-site-exploded/#post-9977370) * Sorry [@dotproblems](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dotproblems/), busy week.
