I would like to offer the same. I just don’t know how to contact you privately.

I am not sure how to private message you here.

I would like to give you access to my server so you can see what is going wrong.

I would also like to give you technical specifications about my site, but I don’t want to make the information public.

I am running PHP 7 with the latest WordPress.

I looked in my PHP error logs and found this:

[19-Aug-2017 18:04:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

SweetCaptcha is the problem. Injecting ransomware and malware.

Holy F*ck! I am removing SweetCaptcha from my sites, and it is throwing up some nasty crap.

Not just annoying ads, but dangerous criminal pop ups that do actual damage.

Ransom Ware? Seriously? WTF?

The SweetCaptcha guys must have sold their biz to a shady guy for $5. That is the only thing that makes sense.

I just read the news reports, and I guess they must have gone insane.

What was their business model? Create a product that when people use it, they run away in horror?

Sounds like something Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil would do.

Maybe the staff went on a cocaine and meth binge and this seemed like a good idea at the time.

I can’t figure this out.

I am having the same problem, and it looks to be sweetcaptcha.

No one would do this on purpose to their own business they spent years building.

I can’t see SweetCaptcha doing it to themselves on purpose. It does not make any sense.

A third party must have done something to them. Unless I am missing something.

In anycase, I disabled the plugin and it seems to have fixed the “hack”

At least they did not get into my server or my database.

This happened to me after an update.

I have the exact same error.

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /home/cmac/public_html/wp-includes/class.wp-scripts.php on line 167

Why yes, it worked.

There where blank lines after the ?> closing tag at the end of the code.

Deleted them, and saved. Then it worked.

Thanks.

Has anyone else hit this issue?

I made the edit and it worked for me.
