Fatal Error when Update

Well I never! Did not know all versions were stored. Cool.

Well, it appears that I have the same problem but I tried deleting and uploading the previous version and it is still giving me the same message. I think it may have something to do with the fatal error related to some google plugin associated but i am not sure. Any ideas?

@gzejer your problem is with secure-wordpress.

Delete the directory /home/globalp/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress/

download install 2.0.1 manually (not via add plugin) get it from https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/secure-wordpress.2.0.1.zip

Wait for version 2.0.3 to be released. I’m guessing it should take no longer than 24 hours

I have resumed to the older version. 2.0.1. And everything is back to normal. HOwever, is still prompt for the upgrade on Secure WordPress plugin. I simply ignore it till further notice from the source.
Below is steps on how I resolved it:-

1) Download the plugin to your desktop (Link given by beyercenter)
2) https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/secure-wordpress/download/
3) Login to your cPanel> File Manager, and direct to /public_html/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress
4) Upload the Zipped folder from your desktop to the directory of #3) above.
5) Unzip it into the same folder, and open it (/public_html/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpres/secure-wordpres)
6) Now, you have 2 similar folders for secure-wordpres.
7) Move all the files from the Unzipped folders and overwrite to the upper leveled directory. i.e /public_html/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress
8) It should work. If all is done, remember to delete/clean up the unnecessary Zipped file.

Hi,

First of all we are really sorry for the inconvenience caused with this plugin update.

We already uploaded a fixed version of the plugin which can be downloaded from: https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/secure-wordpress.2.0.3.zip.

If you have problems accessing your blog because of the plugin update, simply login via FTP or your host’s control panel and delete the plugin directory. The default plugin directory can be found in /wp-content/plugins/ WordPress sub directory.

While hoping you find this plugin useful, feel free to post any queries or suggestions you might have on the WebsiteDefender forums; https://www.websitedefender.com/forums.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
I’ve deleted the secure wordpress folder from my plugins directory and I still get the same message. I downloaded the new secure wordpress zip file and uploaded it to my server. I unzipped and put the secure wordpress folder back in my plugins directory where it was before, BUT I’m still getting the same message.

Failed opening required ‘inc/json.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to refresh something? Is there something else I need to do?

Help!

I deleted the secure-wordpress directory and I still have the same issue. Any other ideas? This plugin has something to do with the secure-wordpress and official-google-site-verification-plugin working together but I am not sure how.

@majmar21 and @gzejer Always do things one step at a time especially when under stress during a failure.

1. Delete the secure-wordpress directory in your wp-content/plugins/ directory. If you want you could rename instead of delete the directory to broken-secure-wordpress.
2. Check your site is working without the plugin
3. If your site still has errors find the other plugin that is causing problems and delete/rename its directory
4. repeat step 3 until your site is working – this could involve removing/renaming every plugin in the directory.
5. Manually upload the known working 2.0.1 or 2.0.3 version to your site. Automatic update didn’t have the new version 12 hours ago.
6. Activate the known working version.
7. Check your site is working.
8. If your site is broken go back to steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 and leave it there

I’ve renamed all my plugins and uploaded the 2.0.1 version of secure wordpress plugin. I’m still getting the same error. I don’t understand what the problem is. Does anybody have any ideas on this?

Hi:

I received this fatal error when updating the donation plug in. I can’t get into my wordpress at all. Can anyone please help? I run Colorway Theme. Thank you.

FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) & delete the wp-content/plugins/wp-paypal-simple-donation-widget folder.

Thanks for your help Esmi…I am so new to this and do not know code so I must ask clarification. When you say FTP into your site – what does that mean? Do I contact the host provider? (which is Hostgator). Because I can’t get into the site at all now; when I log in, I just get the error message.

Thanks again – Valerie

Please see the link I provided in my previous post.

It worked!

This newbie sincerely appreciates your help, time and patience.
