“There has been a critical error on this website” when trying to edit pages

    “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    This is the error I get now whenever I try to edit a page.

    I tried downloading RSS “Master” from github and renaming the folder without the “master,” then uploading and activating. It replaced my current installation I’d installed through WordPress directory, BUT it didn’t fix the issue at all.

    Why does this happen, please?

    Hi,

    Can you go to the wp-config.php in the root of your website, then replace the line:

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

    with

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

    Then, in the wp-content folder a file “debug.log” will appear. If you post the contents of that file here (removing any sensitive data) we can see what the problem is.

    Saw it was a plugin causing lots of errors, and wanted to make sure it wasn’t expressly this plugin before replying. Thanks for your fast reply and efficient help – I think I’m good for now.
