Ok i checked a clonesite i have and disabled each plugin i had and then upgraded to 4.8. After that I enabled this plugin first and each one in turn with it. it seemed that something with jetpack was causing a conflict but i can not be sure because i could not log in to jetpack though my clone site and it didn’t have the same error as before.
brake down:
4.75 all of my plugins including WP Admin UI and Jetpack worked fine.
4.8 with all of my plugins including WP Admin UI AND jetpack seemd to crash.
4.8 with all of my plugins including WP Admin UI except jetpack seemed to work
4.8 with all of my plugins including jetpack except WP Admin UI seemed to work
Seems the combo of 4.8, Jetpack, and WP Admin may have been the cause.
BIG HOWEVER though….. now that WP Admin UI has been updated I backed up my entire site and updated everything to the newest versions.
Everything is once again working.
I’m running 4.8, all of my plugins including jetpack AND WP Admin, and seem to have no issues now!
Not sure what was changed, but THANK YOU! it’s all great again!
