White Screen with latest update

@lehrer79 there’s a couple of things you could still try:

1) please make sure you include the snippet at the end of your wp-config.
2) Uncomment the line at the bottom of the snippet to see if it’s working. This can be done by removing the backslashes in front of that line. Then recomment it again once that’s verify. The line I am talking about looks like this //trigger_error( 'Testing 1..2..3.. Debugging code is working!', E_USER_NOTICE );
3) Make sure WP_DEBUG is set to true.

Hopefully this will give you a better error in your browser. Please share anything you can find.

You can also edit the path in this line to something that exists on your server: @ini_set('error_log', '/path/to/writable/file/logs/error.log'); This should give you an error log which I would really like to see. If you are able to produce it, could you please send us a copy at [email protected]?

Thanks a lot for your help so far in getting to the bottom of this.

@omarreiss: I run a clone site of the original one, for testing and dev purposes.

The original site is where the issue occurred.
The cloned site is exactly the same as the original, and always updated at the same time as far as themes and plugins are concerned, with the sole exception that it doesn’t have the whole original site’s content and that I don’t have ALL plugins active (such as the cache one, etc).

The same way, your SEO plugin was not active at clone site but I updated it and this test site still works.

If you give me your email, I can give you full admin access to this testing site so that you may try activating latest version there by yourself and see what happens. There is no risk of damage there as everything is precisely for testing purposes.I will only ask you to revert back to original any changes you make there – other of course to those of your own plugin itself.

PS: both sites are WPMU installations.

Thanks John, that sounds good. Please send an email to [email protected] with the admin details and we’ll have a look.

Hi,

I’ve managed to get version 2.3 working again.

Here’s what happened and what I did to get around the Fatal Error.

1. I clicked the update button for specifically Yoast SEO plugin version 2.2.1 on the Plugins page on my WordPress admin console.
2. Upon updating, my entire website crashed and I got the error code “Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/ipadclub/public_html/mybeanbean.com/wp-includes/query.php on line 28”.
3. I login to my CPanel, and accessed the File Manager. Went into WP-Content/Plugins/Wordpress-SEO folder and renamed it to WordPress-SEO-temp.
4. My entire website was back online and the latest version 2.3 Yoast SEO plugin was listed as “Deactivated” in the Plugins page on my WordPress admin console.
5. I went ahead and click “Activate” Yoast SEO plugin version 2.3 from the wordpress admin console.
6. The latest version 2.3 of Yoast SEO plugin worked again without any trouble to my website.

I hope this helps.

Thanks @keanpoh, we’ve been getting similar reports. Apparently in many cases, the issue is resolved after deactivating and reactivating the plugin. I’ve gotta say that doesn’t make it easier for us to find what’s causing this. But it might help users get to the 2.3 version of Yoast SEO already, which includes lots of nice improvements and cool new features.

I’ve just tried running the back trace code, as soon as updated the plugin it failed and gave me just same error as before:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /wp/www/cluster/mysite/wp-includes/query.php on line 28

I’ve followed the instructions above from @keanpoh and that gets the plugin to work for me.

I get the following output at the foot of the site

@omarreiss: email just sent out.

@everyone we’ve done a change that will hopefully solve your problem.

Would you be so kind to test the beta we’ve created for you?

You can download it here: https://uploads.yoast.nl/wordpress-seo-2.3.1-beta.zip

We have received positive feedback from a couple of users. The patch (2.3.1) has been released. Marking this topic as resolved

Worked also for me, thanks!
