    When I use the User Switching plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-switching/) to switch to a user everything works fine until I try to switch back to my Admin account. When I do I get the error “There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” but can go to the wp-admin page and it loads my Admin account just fine. Disabling Banhammer stops the issue from occurring.

    What exactly is the critical error? You should receive an email from your WP site indicating the nature and description of the error.

    Yeah looking at those errors, it is something that is happening on the “user-switching” plugin side of things. There is not much I can do about it from the BH side. Best advice is to report the error to the user-switching developers, they will know best how to resolve the issue. Let me know if I can provide any further infos about Banhammer, glad to help anytime.

    Banhammer is returning an invalid value from its removable_query_args filter.

    See https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/hooks/removable_query_args/. null is not an allowed return value for this filter.

    Ah, thank you. Will change it to return an empty array instead.

    Just to follow up, this issue is resolved in the next version of Banhammer. Should be released today or tomorrow. Thanks @holisticmissions and @johnbillion.
