myervin

As for caching, I have the a3 lazy load plugin running on myervin.com – ?? Don’t think anything else. FYI since I’ve deleted the old LLAR and reinstalled, all has been fine (except for the hundreds of failed login attempts every week LOL!). Also FWIW, I have another site, defsim.myervin.com, using the same template (Easy) and it does not have a3 lazy load installed, although it does have the Jetpack plugin. It auto updated LLAR to 2.25.18 and it did not have any issues.

Thanks for the info, but my ISP (IONOS) does not appear to have installed a duplicate. There was nothing in the MU Folder. I have had this site up for about three years now. LLAR was installed initially by the IONOS assistant when I created the site, but just in the standard Plugins folder, and had been operating normally all that time until the automatic update a couple of days ago. Here is the error info from WordPress:

WordPress version 6.0.5
Active theme: Easy (version 1.9)
Current plugin: Limit Login Attempts Reloaded (version 2.25.18)
PHP version 8.1.19

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 40 of the file /homepages/htdocs/clickandbuilds/eRVin/wp-content/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Class “LLAR\Core\LimitLoginAttempts” not found in /homepages/htdocs/clickandbuilds/eRVin/wp-content/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/limit-login-attempts-reloaded.php:40

FYI I had the same issue today. WordPress email message indicating a critical error on my site. The site was down. I used the WordPress “safe mode” recovery link sent with the email message to login to admin, deleted LLAR plugin and all was good. Have not tried reinstalling it yet, will report back if any issues.
