There has been a critical error on this website

Hello @goldenhomescumbria,

A fatal error is probably because your theme and/or some of the plugins are not compatible with newer PHP versions or newer WordPress versions. You need to access the hosting and do some troubleshooting to find out the cause of the fatal error and resolve it. Here is an article on how to do that – https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-critical-error-in-wordpress

I hope that you have hosting access. Because without access you can’t do anything. It looks like that your site is hosted here -> https://hostpresto.com – if you don’t have access you can try to reach out to their support and explain the situation, to obtain access somehow.

I hope that I was able to help at least a bit, kind regards.

Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t find the log, please contact your host.

Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/

You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins:? https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus
