Following…..

This is happening to me as well. Fortunately, I only upgraded a staging site.

Same here, and now I can’t even disable the ocean extra plugin.

I work for the hosting provider ICDSoft.com and today we received several similar reports.

In WordPress 5.3 the definition of WP_Upgrader_Skin::feedback method in wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skin.php was changed from:

public function feedback( $string ) {

to

public function feedback( $string, ...$args ) {

However, this was not reflected in the declaration of QuietSkin that extends WP_Upgrader_Skin in wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/wizard/classes/QuietSkin.php.
A quick fix is to change the following line in wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/wizard/classes/QuietSkin.php:

public function feedback($string) { /* no output */

to

public function feedback($string, ...$args) { /* no output */

Similar errors here. Had to disable ocean extra.

If you can’t get into your admin area, go in through your file manager. Go into wp-content/plugins and rename the ocean-extra folder to something like “hold-ocean-extra” and save.

You’ll be in and able to function. Of course, what you were using ocean extra for won’t work…but I’m sure they’ll get this fixed pretty quick.

This isn’t an ideal solution, but it is fairly quick and it will get your site back up.

I have the same error but my site is up and running but you can see the warning on the landing page.

@veso_peso is that the permanently fix?

@sam1215 This should resolve the issue until there is an official update of the plugin.

Similar problem here
did you all try @veso_peso solution ? @sam1215 @deleyna @maggieymae @valmy02 @veso_peso ?

@nathalie10600 Yes. It works well.

Getting the same error.

Warning: Declaration of QuietSkin::feedback($string) should be compatible with WP_Upgrader_Skin::feedback($string, ...$args) in /home/cosmolyr/public_html/aspXXXXXXXuths.com/wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/wizard/classes/QuietSkin.php on line 12

But, after I disabled the plugin Ocean Extra, the site is working fine.

@deleyna I can’t access my site now, just see the Warning: Declaration of QuietSkin
Can’t even try the @veso_peso stuff…..

As soon as I spotted this I also disabled the ocean extra plug-in and all seems well now

@nathalie10600 the @veso_peso solution works well. You access it from the file manager on your server. You can also disable to plugin from the file manager.

If you have access to your hosting account, renaming just the folder for ocean extra will get you in.

You may need to get some technical help if you aren’t comfortable doing that or possibly contact your hosting company for help.

I expect the plugin will come out with a patch tomorrow.
