I’m sorry to hear that you experienced a fatal error after the latest 3.6.27 update of Ninja Forms, even though you didn’t update the plugin yourself.
Here are a few options you can try to restore the functionality of your site.
- Disable automatic updates for plugins: In WordPress, you can disable automatic updates for plugins by adding some code ,
add_filter( ‘auto_update_plugin’, ‘__return_false’ )
to your site’s functions.php file or by using a plugin that provides this functionality. This will prevent all plugins, including Ninja Forms, from updating automatically.
- Enable manual updates only: If you prefer to have more control over plugin updates, you can switch to manual updates for all plugins. This means you will need to manually update each plugin through the WordPress admin dashboard when new updates are available. To do this, you can use a plugin like Easy Updates Manager or similar solutions that allow you to manage updates manually.
- Use a plugin management tool: There are plugins available that provide advanced plugin management features, including the ability to disable or control automatic updates for specific plugins. These plugins allow you to choose which plugins should update automatically and which ones require manual updates. One example is the “Advanced Automatic Updates” plugin.
It’s worth noting that while preventing automatic updates can help in avoiding unexpected issues like the one you encountered, it’s important to regularly update plugins to ensure you have the latest security patches and bug fixes. Therefore, it’s a good practice to keep an eye on plugin updates and manually update them in a timely manner.
