Updating WordPress – MU-Plugin causes crash

  • I inherited a site from another designer that has not been updated.

    When we try to update WordPress either through one touch or manually it crashes.

    The debug log seems to point at a mu-plugin causing the crash. We disabled all other plugins and it still crashes.

    Here is what the debug script says:

    thrown in /home/(***client***)/public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/force-strong-passwords/slt-force-strong-passwords.php on line 53

    Any idea how to fix this so I can update the platform?

    You’ll need to delete the file in the mu-plugins directory. Use FTP or the file manager app in your hosting control panel.

    Hi, @covmedia

    I will recommend you can put that particular code in the if loop.

    if(is_numeric($num)){
round($num);
}

    A single line causing the fatal error. replacing this code with mu-plugin code 53
    will resolve the error just past this code at line 53.

    Hope this will resolve the error.
    Thank You
