    Can anyone help me? My website is dsottile.it. Thanks

  • Hi, I have the same issue.
    After investigation I have found that there is a code issue in the latest update 1.5.2
    And the solution is to revert Plugin to the previous version.
    You can download the previous version 1.5.1 from this page, upload it to the website and then delete the plugin.

    Same issue for me too. Version 1.5.2

    Error Message: “Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”

    Server Log:

    [31-Jan-2023 13:40:54 UTC] PHP Warning:  require_once(/home/visitingireland/public_html/wp-content/plugins/duplicator/tools/DuplicatorPhpVersionCheck.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/visitingireland/public_html/wp-content/plugins/duplicator/uninstall.php on line 18

[31-Jan-2023 13:40:54 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/visitingireland/public_html/wp-content/plugins/duplicator/tools/DuplicatorPhpVersionCheck.php' (include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/share/pear') in /home/visitingireland/public_html/wp-content/plugins/duplicator/uninstall.php on line 18

    To let it run the Uninstall process, you need to comment out lines 18, 19, 20, 21 & 22 in the uninstall.php file. This will bypass the Version Check (no idea why it needs to check the PHP version to uninstall a plugin, but it’s there and causes issues).

    For an alternative way of deleting the plugin, you can just deactivate it from the Plugins page, after which open the folder /wp-content/plugins and remove the duplicator folder.

    Note, this issue will be fixed in the next release.
