Critical Error: WP Site in Recovery Mode

    Hi, WP reported to me this morning the following critical error:

    “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, UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore.”

    My website loads (slowly) but I cannot access the Dashboard except in Recovery Mode.

    WP Recovery mode reports on Updraft: “Version 1.16.51. This plugin failed to load properly and is paused during recovery mode.”

    I tried to update to the newest version, Version 1.16.53. After several minutes, WP returns “Update failed: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.”

    Suggestions?

    As suggested regarding update issues in other threads, I deleted Updraft plus plugin and tried to reinstall it just now. I got the same error message:

    “Installation failed: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> 500 Internal Server Error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request….”

    Ok, I dug deeper and looked at https://updraftplus.com/faqs/wordpress-crashed-when-updating-updraftplus-what-can-i-do/.

    I should have plenty of space on my server, but I went ahead and deleted a defunct ZenCart installation, and then reinstalled Updraft, and it appears to be working.

    Hi,

    Please can you update the plugin you are using to latest version 1.16.53. Are you still getting the same issue?

    Thanks,

    Hi Bryle,

    Uh, yeah, that was the version I was trying to install. As I said in my last post, I deleted some files from the server and then Updraft was able to get installed again. Not sure what that issue is. I’m only using 20% of my filespace quota. Anyway, it’s working.

    I can’t upgrade to the latest version with the same error
