Installed and my Site Crashed!

  • I wouldn’t use this again and I wouldn’t recommend it. 1 minute after installing my site crashed and I had no access. This leaves no access to wp-admin. I had to restore my website from a previous days backup. While there may be over 8,000 installs it’s obvious that this causes the same issue for many. I would highly suggest backing up your website before using.

    Hi Kariedan,

    We have more than 8000 users. Imagine if the plugin crash all sites.

    Some possible issues:
    1) Low memory
    2) PHP/MySql/Javascript Errors
    (Look your error log file)
    3) Old version of WordPress or Browser
    4) Malware (run a scan) or plugin incompatibility
    5) Other

    Here are our troubleshooting page with tips:

    You should request free support to us before to leave one star review.

    Anyway, I saw you left many bad reviews last month, then I suspect anything is wrong with your site/server.

    Good luck with your site, I hope you can find the issue.
    Cheers,

    While I do appreciate the quick reply, the plugin crashed my site almost immediately leaving me no access to wp-admin. The only fix is to either go into My PHPadmon and disable plugins or restore from backup. To my knowledge those are the only fixes when this happens and neither are great options. You should recommend backing up your website before installing this plugin. Again, I do appreciate the troubleshooting tips.

    You should have asked our free support and we would have removed it by FTP, no need to return backup. And still find out what the problem is in your being to see that it is causing difficulties.
    Expect problems in the future on this site.
    Probably you will continue to find issues with other plugins because something is wrong.

    My website is fairly baked in and I use only the necessary plugins. The only reason I installed this is because Elementor was having memory issues, this is known and they recommend upping the memory for PHP. While I may have been harsh in my review it was only to warn others. Obviously from other recent reviews, I’m not the only one that has experienced this. While you can blame a customers website on this issue that will only go so far. I offered a simple recommendation to your plugin. Many plugins have strict warnings upfront to backup first. I take those warnings seriously. You do not have any such warning. This particular plugin will have serious ramifications on certain configurations or with other plugins. This should be fairly reproducible for you. I’m happy to help you by providing my exact configuration, WordPress installation and installed plugins if you care.

    The backup is not necessary in this case, because our plugin don’t make any changes on your site, only in wp-config.php file. But that happens only after the user approve and copy the link to restore the file. We send also the link to restore by email automatically.

    And, we explain in our plugin FAQ page:
    If you got problem, just delete the plugin folder from FTP or with your filemanager panel. (both in your cPanel or similar).

    We have a page with the complete checklist to do regards troubleshooting:
    https://siterightaway.net/troubleshooting/
    Some other possibilities are malware (we have a free anti hacker plugin to run scan), plugin conflict, database errors and so on…

    I suspect your site is running out of memory and when you installed our plugin go out all memory limits. Probably that will happens again with other plugins in future.

    I have 2 suggestions:
    1) Check your file PHP error_log. This file record all warnings and errors.
    You can look the file from your cPanel or similar.
    2) Disable the elementor plugin (or other plugin using a lot of memory) for some seconds and install our free plugin WPTOOLS (no make changes at your server or database) to run a checkup in your server. That plugin has a voice PHP errors and you can find some useful server information and, of course, information about your memory.
    WPMemory plugin has also a tab with Server Errors.

    But, before to install, be prepared to delete the plugin (by FTP or filemanager) in case of crash the admin dashboard, because that happens before on your site and remember to deactivate elementor or other to keep some memory free.

    If you want, visit our support site and we can do that to you by free but we will need some information and we can not request that here (by security).
