    I have installed the JetPack Boost plugin, but when I try to activate it, I get this message “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a?fatal error.”
    So I tried to delete it so I could reinstall it, and it says it can’t be deleted because it will cause a fatal error.

    So I contacted my host, DreamHost, for support and this is what they told me:
    From the actual error it seems that jetpack-boost is looking for core file from its install missing causing the critical error: [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599572 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: require(/home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/app/data-sync/Critical_CSS_Meta_Entry.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/vendor/jetpack-autoloader/class-php-autoloader.php on line 90, referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599672 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required ‘/home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/app/data-sync/Critical_CSS_Meta_Entry.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/vendor/jetpack-autoloader/class-php-autoloader.php:90, referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599691 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: Stack trace:, referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599706 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #0 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/wp-js-data-sync.php(173): Automattic\\Jetpack\\Autoloader\\jpb1e77e6231d50e7663f84529b6a3dfda_jetpack_boost\xe2\x93\xa53_0_2\\al3_0_2\\PHP_Autoloader::load_class(‘Automattic\\\\Jetp…’), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599756 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #1 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack-boost/jetpack-boost.php(239): require_once(‘/home/dh_tneqcx…’), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599772 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #2 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(1257): include_once(‘/home/dh_tneqcx…’), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599788 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #3 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(960): uninstall_plugin(‘jetpack-boost/j…’), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599803 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #4 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php(4748): delete_plugins(Array), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599819 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #5 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): wp_ajax_delete_plugin(”), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599834 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #6 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599849 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #7 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599864 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #8 /home/dh_tneqcx/yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php(188): do_action(‘wp_ajax_delete-…’), referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive [Mon Feb 19 15:55:19.599907 2024] [fcgid:warn] [pid 480839:tid 3894834849536] [client 24.89.206.32:61865] mod_fcgid: stderr: #9 {main}, referer: https://www.yourhappydogcoach.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin_status=inactive
    I tried manually activating the plugin but its giving me the same error as a workaround we can renamed the current plugin folder for you to re-install the plugin. Will that work for you? At the moment, the main issue is a missing core file from the plugin. We are not sure how the plugin was downloaded or installed but the fact that the system is not built to delete your WordPress content there is a possibility that there is a corrupted file within the file structure of the plugin causing the plugin to have this issue. To know more about what caused the problem, kindly provide the full error to the plugin provider so that they can review this further. In terms of installing the plugin as a workaround, it would be best to have the main folder plugin renamed so that you can have a fresh install to test.

    It’s a new website, it just went live last month, so I’d really like to get this fixed, or be able to delete the plugin at the very least, so that I can move forward ensuring no more critical errors.
    I hope you can help with this! Thanks!

    Hi @lorileereg,

    As DreamHost suggested, renaming the plugin folder via FTP could serve as a workaround. Here are the steps you should follow:

    1. Access your site via FTP or a File Manager provided by DreamHost.
    2. Navigate to the wp-content/plugins directory.
    3. Locate the jetpack-boost folder.
    4. Rename this folder to something like jetpack-boost-backup to deactivate the plugin.

    After you’ve renamed the folder, try re-installing Jetpack Boost. You can do so by downloading a fresh copy from the WordPress plugin repository and installing it via your WordPress dashboard, or by uploading it through the FTP/File Manager.

    For further assistance, feel free to reply with more details in this thread.

    Thank you!

    I was actually trying to find this post, thank you for the reminder email! I have not yet checked with DreamHost on how to do the suggested remedy. I will comment when I have.

    I was able to follow your directions and then delete Jetpack Boost. I’ve now reinstalled it and it seems to be working so far.

    Thank you for your help, you may now close this thread as resolved.
