[Hidden-tech] Strange WordPress error

[Jeff Brand]

Hi Shel,

That's a weird error since your active version of PHP shouldn't have 
changed with the WordPress update.

If you can access your site via FTP/SSH or some other file manager, look 
for the folder wp-content/plugins/backupwordpress inside of your webroot 
folder. Rename that folder to anything else, I usually just add a _ to 
the end of it.

This will prevent WordPress from loading that plugin, hopefully 
preventing the error. This will buy some time to find the exact cause 
while getting your site live again.
