Yep, I’ve just spent the last two hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the site. For shop managers, or editors, its failing, on multiple sites.

In the end I put a backtrace on the wp_die with this code:

// Remove this code after debugging
function log_wp_die_backtrace($message, $title = '', $args = array()) {
    error_log('wp_die called: ' . print_r($message, true));
    error_log('Backtrace: ' . print_r(debug_backtrace(DEBUG_BACKTRACE_IGNORE_ARGS), true));
    _default_wp_die_handler($message, $title, $args);
}
add_filter('wp_die_handler', function() {
    return 'log_wp_die_backtrace';
});

And this debug setting in wp-config.php:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

And that output the culprit:

[13-May-2024 21:52:39 UTC] wp_die called: You do not have permission to access this page!

I’ve commented out the hook which is calling the rogue line in the bold reference above, which has fixed my site:

// add_action('admin_init', array($this, 'sgpbActivateLicense'));

I think thats a good enough fix for tonight as I expect you will be releasing a hotfix for this as soon as you see this thread…
