[Resolved] Critical error when trying to Customize GeneratePress Theme

[Andrei Cosmovici]

Hi,

I tried today to click on the Customise button from the GeneratePress Theme, and a blank page whith the messabe below appears:

”There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.
Learn more about debugging in WordPress.”

Any options to fix this?…

Thanks!
Andrei

Hi there,

try disabling all other plugins apart from GP Premium to test for a conflict.

If there is still an issue can you check #5 here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/

[Andrei Cosmovici]

The problem comes from the GP Premium plug-in. Next step?

[David]

OK so can retry creating the error, and when it occurs, Right Click > Inspect and let us know of any Red Errors displayed in the console

Please check photo below.

Credentials for access to the blog would help?

[Tom]

Can you check the error_log file on your server? A 500 error should be logged in there. What’s the latest entry?

[Andrei Cosmovici]

It seems it takes time to have an answer from those who manage the server. I don’t have access to the server, this is the rule. So, meantime, is there another way to try to fix this problem?

As I asked yesterday, credentials to access the blog dashboard would be useful?

[David]

Can you go to Tools > Site Health > Info and send us a screen shot of the Server details.

As its Server related the issue will need to be resolved at the server level but we can at least look to see what may be the cause.

[Andrei Cosmovici]

I have no acces to the CPanel. It’s a security matter, so all I need is fixed by my hosting company. I should wait, and wait, and wait (I guess…).

[David]

In the WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Site Health > is where you can find the report.
Happy to have a look at that to see of there is anything obvious that is wrong.

[Andrei Cosmovici]

Should I ask for a PHP Update?

[David]

For security reasons its best to be on the latest stable version of PHP that your server supports.
GP is tested and works on 7.3

On that screen there is an Info tab at the top. Click on that and expand the Server details. And send us a screenshot of that too

Well there is nothing there that stands out as a problem.
Will have to wait and see what your host has to say – sorry.

[Andrei Cosmovici]

Ok, we’ll wait…
So there is not from the PHP version?
Will try to urge my request. Come back asap. Thks for your support, anyway! 🙂
