 * After updating WPForms lite to version 1.9.5 I get a critical error when trying
   to view the website. If I disable the WPForms plugin the website comes back, 
   enable it and get the critical error again. I have been using the plugin for 
   over 1 year without any issues until now.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwpforms-lite-causing-critical-error-after-update%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dj_savage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dj_savage/),
 * Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues 
   with the update.
 * When errors like this occur, WordPress usually sends an email containing some
   debug information. If possible, could you please share a copy of the error message
   that was sent to your admin email? This would help us investigate the issue more
   effectively.
 * If you didn’t receive an email, would you mind enabling error logging on your
   site? Then, please let me know the kind of error that is reported when you activate
   WPForms. If you need assistance with this, you can learn more from [this guide](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-easily-enable-wordpress-debug-mode-to-fix-site-errors/).
 * I appreciate your patience, and I’m looking forward to your reply.
 * Thank you!

 * Hey [@dj_savage](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dj_savage/),

   quickly for you.
 * I’m looking forward to your response.

 * Hi, my hosting updated the user.ini (to what I don’t know) and these seems to
   have fixed the issue.
