Title: Version 5.0 Error Last modified: September 8, 2018 --- # Version 5.0 Error * Resolved [Aaron Richardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/n3rdabl3/) * (@n3rdabl3) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/) * Good morning. Updating to 5.0, unfortunately, kills our website with a 500 error. We’ve rolled-back to the previous version until new version becomes available.

Otherwise, you can temporarily put `delete_option( 'xmlsf_version' )` in your theme’s `functions. php` file. * Also, flush rewrite rules by visiting Dashboard / Settings / Permalinks. Just visiting that admin page flushes the rules. - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [kitchin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitchin/). * Plugin Author [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10669819) * Hi, there was a weird situation during the push to SVN where some files where rejected (seems XML source was perceived by a commit hook as PHP and thus caused a parse error) so I fear some people have received in incomplete upgrade package. * Is there a more specific error in your server log files that could tell what has gone wrong? * [kitchin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitchin/) * (@kitchin) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10669995) * What I see for `xml-sitemap-feed/languages/` now is: * Version 4.9.4: 19 files Version 5.0: 19 files Version 5.0.1: folder missing * Plugin Author [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10670180) * Yes, translations are now on [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/xml-sitemap-feed](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/xml-sitemap-feed) * Plugin Author [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10673846) * Hi Aaron, please let me know if you find anything in the error log file. I really cannot seem to figure this remaining issue with PHP 5.4 out… * Plugin Author [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10675514) * UPDATE: Think I found them all. 5.0.2 should be PHP 5.4 compatible. If you find any more issues, please let me know 🙂 * [Dexter Nelson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/techdex/) * (@techdex) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10676704) * I still can’t see the category options either in composition or quick edit. * Thread Starter [Aaron Richardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/n3rdabl3/) * (@n3rdabl3) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10677041) * [@ravanh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) sorry for the late reply. I couldn’t find anything in our error logs, however updating to 5.0.2 I can confirm that you have fixed it! * One thing I did notice however is that the plugin flagged our static robots.txt for deletion, not sure if that’s a bug or intentional, just thought I’d give you a heads up. * Looking forward to exploring the new features/settings area. * Plugin Author [Rolf Allard van Hagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravanh/) * (@ravanh) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-5-0-error/#post-10677917) * Thanks for the feedback 🙂 * The static robots.txt warning can be ignored if you wish to keep your static robots.txt file. But you may also decide to delete the file and let WordPress generate a dynamic robots.txt for you. In that case, you can add your custom robots rules in the field “Additional robots.txt rules” on Settings > Reading.
