What's going wrong
After automatic or manual updates, several WordPress sites began showing a critical error or a server 500 page, and their owners had to restore backups or remove the plugin to get back online. The reports come from a range of themes and hosts, including managed hosting, and in some cases the owner could not reach the admin login. Each update seems to bring back a fatal error. Site owners need an update check that catches crashes on a staging copy before live visitors are affected.
