Just installed the 4.8 update – 500 errors everywhere

Hi there @dzarelli,

So sorry to hear about this issue ??

Here you’ll find a guide on how to downgrade the plugins: https://support.theeventscalendar.com/577358-Downgrading-a-plugin-to-a-past-version

Can you please share with me the error(s) description? Might need to dig into the server logs to find that. If you can also share your system information that will be of great help.

Please let us know if downgrading reverts the issue for now, if so we can help you updating the plugins safely in a staging site,
Best,
Nico

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply. We nuked the plugin and restored the previous version from our DR server. SO the issue was resolved rather quickly. However, I see the plugin still has updates available and I’m holding off on the until we can determine what caused the 500 errors. As for server logs. I would need to do some digging. The only error thrown on the front end was the 500 internal server error. Have you had any other reports of similar issues with the update? I’m seeing some other posts on the support forums. I also see another update was released 5 days ago. These were the only release notes I could find – https://theeventscalendar.com/announcing-the-events-calendar-4-8-0-1-event-tickets-4-10-0-1-and-event-tickets-plus-4-10-0-1/

We are currently on 4.7.4. On WordPress 4.9.9 multisite

Thanks!

Hey there,

Do you know what version of PHP this site is running?

Take care,
Ed ??

Hey Ed – Thanks for the response. We’re running PHP 7.2.14.

Additional details –
Linux version 2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC) CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Hi @dzarelli

Sorry about the long silence. We would like to investigate this issue a bit more.
Would you be able to set up a copy of your site as a staging site and check if WP 5.1 and our latest versions work?

If you don’t want to update WP, then try our latest versions.

Could you also enable debugging on your site:

And check what errors you see in the error log when you get a 500 error?

Let us know what you find.

Cheers,
Andras
