fopen, fread, fclose warnings

Hello,

This is really strange.

Do you we have any add-ons installed or you have only the basic plugin installed?

Hi,

Just the basic one

Have you at any particular point in time installed or tested any of the add-ons in the sites where you are getting these warnings?

Also please let me know the version of Email Log plugin and WordPress version.

Thanks.

@mrmocha,

(1) Are you using Apache server?

(2) Also, could you share the existing file/folder permissions that you have set for files and folders under wp-content/ directory.

Hi @sudar. I have not used any other addons, just the core plugin. I am using the latest versions of both the plugin and WordPress.

Hi @mariadanieldeepak. It’s an Nginx server and folders are set to the recommended 755 and files are 644.

It looks like if I delete and re-install the plugin it clears the errors. It will just take a while to do on lots of websites…

I am experiencing the same issue. Using php 7.1 if that makes any difference. It is also somehow making WordPress think that I have 3 additional plugins to update. I guess I will try removing the plugin and reinstalling again.

Adding that the problem appeared after I upgraded WordPress to its latest version.

@chamois_blanc yes I noticed the 3 additional plugin upgrades as well! I assumed it was unrelated, but now you mention it it must be related.

I am only on php 5.6 though. Here are all the plugins I have installed (pretty much the same on all of our WP instances):

Admin Columns
Adminimize
Advanced Custom Fields PRO
Advanced Custom Fields: Image Crop Add-on
Akismet Anti-Spam
All In One WP Security
Contact Form 7
Contact Form 7 Honeypot
Custom Post Type UI
Duplicate Post
Email Log
Imsanity
InfiniteWP – Client
Instagram Feed
MailChimp for WordPress
Members
Redirection
Regenerate Thumbnails
Revision Control
SG Optimizer
Simple History
Social Warfare
User Switching
What The File
Wordfence Security
WordPress Importer
WP Migrate DB
Yoast SEO

Something very odd going on.

Thanks everyone for providing additional details and also confirming that you are able to replicate it.

We are working on finding the fix on it asap.

Expect a release soon with the fix for this.

Our entire team is working on resolving this issue.

Meanwhile are you seeing these warnings always in the WP admin in all pages or only when WordPress shows updates available or only just after getting WordPress updated?

Hi,

It’s mainly just on the plugin updates page. The rest of the admin areas have been fine.

The errors were showing both before and after updates. When I tried deactivating the plugin sometimes it would break the install and just show the errors, no access to the rest of the page. Then if I deleted the plugin via ftp and added it back the normal way…everything would be fine.

Hello all,

We just released v2.2.0 of the plugin that fixes this issue.

Kindly update the plugin to v2.2.0 and let us know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks everyone for reporting the issue and for the patience.
