    Hi
    Is your plugin compatible with WordPress 5.5?

    I was given a snippet to fix an issue with the new 5.5 and…it caused a fatal error on my site – luckily, the site did not crash and I was able to recover it.

    WP support claimes they installed the snippet on 30 sites without any issue – perhaps they did it directly in wp-config.php

    please advise.

    Hi @magicpowers,

    Yes, the plugin should be compatible with WP 5.5.

    Likely, the fatal error was caused by the code you used. If you’re able to share it here, I can take a look and see what might be going wrong.

    hi @bungeshea

    here it is

    define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

    provided by WP support.

    Unfortunately, this sort of snippet can’t be added using the Code Snippets plugin – it needs to go in wp-config.php with the other constants.

    what are “the other” constants?

    I’m not a developer and my knowledge of coding is close to none.

    By that I just meant that you will want to put it on a line by itself somewhere above this text:

    /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
