    So I updated my wp to 5.2 recently, I found some new themes and as I was going to use them I get this error message
    “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    The only email I received was yesterday for this

    ” Howdy!

    Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

    In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Printify app.

    First, visit your website (https://www.applepieintheskydreamer.com/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://www.applepieintheskydreamer.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=) and check for any visible issues.

    Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

    If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

    To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.”

    The plugin they are referring to has been deleted from my content plugin folder. Now I get the same error message of
    “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions” every time I try to switch or even look at different themes. I have upgraded my php client to version 7 and I am uncertain as to what else i will need to do in order to get my themes to work correctly.

    I updated PHP version to 7.1.29 and received the error – “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” I reverted back to 7.0.33 and website worked properly, so I changed it back to 7.1 and renamed the plugins folder to see if it was a plugin issue. I discovered it was the Revolution Slider plugin – The current version I am using is this 5.0.4.1. Hope this helps diagnose the problem!

    For anyone that lands here after running into this unhelpful error – if you enable debug mode, the actual error message will show up alongside this otherwise meaningless output.

    If you don’t know how to do this, open up your wp-config.php file in the top/root directory for your WP installation, and add the following line anywhere, on it’s own line:

    define('WP_DEBUG',1);

    Remember to remove it after, or if you prefer to leave it for future use, change the code to disable the debug output

    `define(‘WP_DEBUG’,0);

    If you didn’t get the email, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Next, about that email that was never sent, it sounds like your hosting provider has disabled PHP’s mail() function, which is used by WordPress to send you email notifications, and is also used by contact form plugins and more.

    This is a common safeguard employed by hosting providers when they suspect that another customer on the same server is sending spam emails directly from the server.

    Another alternative is that PHP’s mail() function is still active, but spammer activity from the server has already caused any email sent from it to be blacklisted. This would result in the emails being sent, but never received by any email address with basic anti-spam capabilities.

    You can check this by leaving a comment on your site and checking if you receive an email. Another alternative would be to use the Health Check plugin and sending yourself a test email from the plugin’s Tools tab to see if it works.

    If you didn’t receive a test email, you could try using an SMTP plugin to configure your WordPress site to use your email’s outgoing mail server instead of PHP’s mail() function.
