It is causing fatal error php and wp-cron.php is not running

Hi @dbayon24,

Which version of Really Simple SSL are you using? In the current version I don’t see this function on line 1322.

Version 5.0.5

this line `//we’re guessing that if the challenge dir has writing permissions, the new dir will also have it.
if ( RSSSL()->rsssl_server->uses_htaccess() && $has_writing_permissions ) {
update_option(‘rsssl_create_folders_in_root’, true);
}
return false;`

I just tested the cron jobs with the 5.0.10 version, this function runs without any issues. Can you try to update to the latest version, clear the logs, then check again?

Hello,

Checking the wpengine logs today, we still have the same problem with the plugin

[Sat Aug 28 14:33:06.514666 2021] [php7:error] [pid 24983] [client 35.231.168.153:50986] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function uses_htaccess() on null in /nas/content/live/heelthatpain/wp-content/plugins/really-simple-ssl/lets-encrypt/class-letsencrypt-handler.php:1322\nStack trace:\n#0 /nas/content/live/heelthatpain/wp-

This is very strange. In the 5.0.10 version this function is not called on line 1322:

https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/really-simple-ssl/tags/5.0.10/lets-encrypt/class-letsencrypt-handler.php#L1322

Can you double check the current version?

Version 5.0.5

this line

if ( RSSSL()->rsssl_server->uses_htaccess() && $has_writing_permissions ) {
			    update_option('rsssl_create_folders_in_root', true);
		    }

Can you try installing the latest version from here:
https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/really-simple-ssl.5.0.10.zip

Then check if you the errors return?

Hello,

it worked with version 5.0.10

thank you!
