Error thrown when looking for update in WP

    Howdy!

    Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

    In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Rank Math SEO.

    First, visit your website (https://youronlinebutcher.com/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://youronlinebutcher.com/wp-admin/update-core.php?force-check=1) and check for any visible issues.

    Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

    If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

    To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.

    When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
    WordPress version 5.3.2
    Current theme: Rey Child (version 1.0.0) Current plugin: Rank Math SEO (version 1.0.40.2) PHP version 7.3.6

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Could you please perform a fresh install of the plugin by deleting it from the plugins page and installing a new copy and let me know if the error is still reported?
    PS: No data loss will happen in this process.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Updating to the latest version should fix the issue.

    Please let us know if you are still facing an issue(s). We are here to help.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Can you please confirm if you are using at least PHP 7?

    We recommend using PHP 7.2 though.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    This has nothing to do with my php version, which is up to date.

    This probably has to do with a function that doesn’t exist. Please escalate this issue.

    Hello,

    Can you please reinstall the plugin?

    If that doesn’t help, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
