I just received an e-mail from WordPress informing me that “a fatal error” occurred on my page due to the Yoast plugin. I can’t see any visual issues on my websites, but I am still concerned. Can you tell me what this means?

Best,

Karina

Thanks for a great plugin, we use it for streaming meetings to remote locations every friday.

Seems that you’ve have to update your readme / plugin meta data on www.remarpro.com, as the dashboards shows this warning:

Warning: This plugin has not been tested with your current version of WordPress.

I can confirm that it plays nice with WP 5.2.1, at least on our configuration

The related email said:

Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Post Slider by 10Web.

and

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 518 of the file /home/www/fortvermilionlodgeboard.ca/wp-content/plugins/post-slider-wd/post-slider-wd.php. Error message: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/www/fortvermilionlodgeboard.ca/wp-content/plugins/post-slider-wd/wd/start.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php7.3/lib/php’)

Looking at the files I agree that this start.php file does not exist. In fact the whole folder ../wd/.. is missing.

I cannot access the admin area at all. Whichever page I call or recall the same error message appears. The recovery option does not work either. It response with:

Recovery Mode not initialized.

What can and should I do?

After running the WP 5.2 update on a few sites using LGC with a search shortcode, I noticed the search form was no longer being output inside LGC. It was being output ABOVE both columns. In other words, the form HTML had been structurally moved ABOVE both of the LGC columns. The column that should contain the form was now empty.

I was using the following code via the child theme functions.php file to create the search shortcode:
add_shortcode('customsearch', 'get_search_form');

I replaced it with a custom search form …like this:

function customsearchform( $form ) {
 
    $form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="customsearchform" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
    <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">' . __('Search for:') . '</label>
    <input type="text" value="' . get_search_query() . '" name="s" id="s" />
    <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" />
    </div>
    </form>';
 
    return $form;
}
add_shortcode('customsearch', 'customsearchform');

And the form is now being output inside the column again.

I’m still not sure why this is happening; whether it’s specific to LGC or if it’s a WP 5.2 bug. Maybe Tom can shed some light on this.

“Could not copy file.: wordpress/wp-includes/js/clipboard.min.js

Installation Failed”

Deactivated all plugins & tried again, but still no go.

Any suggestions on how to fix?
