NEW update is causing Fatal Error on my site

Hello @droidafrica

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

It seems like new tables are not getting created in the Database or some old plugin has left an incorrect entry.

Please follow these steps to fix the issue:

1. Take a complete backup of your website
2. Install this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/
3. Head over to the Snippets menu in the left sidebar and click Add New: https://i.rankmath.com/YucUZS
4. Give that post any name and copy the below code in the Code field

add_action(
	'init',
	function() {
		delete_option( 'schema-ActionScheduler_StoreSchema' );
	},
);

5. Select ‘Only run in administration area’ option and click the Save and Activate button: https://i.rankmath.com/D9iOGH
6. Open WordPress Dashboard in a new window
7. Then deactivate recently created snippet from here: https://i.rankmath.com/1k8KcX
8. Then activate the Rank Math plugin again

Please clear all the cache, including the server after following the above process.

That should resolve the issue.

This worked!…Thanks

Can I deactivate and remove the added plugin now?

Same fatal error for me. I rolled back to previous version. It’s something Rank Math should fix with a new update. Thanks!

@tomstardust…

You should try the above solution…it worked for me!

Thank you.

Please, just update the plugin and fix it! How am I going to be confident in investing in the paid version and telling my customers if a plugin causes this type of error?

Hello @alexrodrigues43

The issue is not happening on every installation, and we are sorry that the issue is even happening.

We have created a plugin that fixes the issue on the installations where the issue is happening:
https://rankmath.com/kb/fatal-error-after-1-0-49-update/

and we are also working with the developers of the vendor plugin to get it fixed asap.

Hope you understand. Thank you.
