Application error

Hi All,

I recently added a few new plugins and following their install, and prior to them being activated I received the following message when I tried to go to any page of my website (mathiashawes.com).

Application error
An error occurred in the website and your page could not be displayed. If you are the website owner, check your logs for details.

I saw a previous post about this but wasnt too sure how it was resolved. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I cant even get into my dashboard to edit content or create new posts.

Thanks
Matt

Hi mattjhawes!

Could you please tell us what plugins have you installed?

Thanks for the quick response.

I installed:

  • totalcache
  • redirect
  • smushit
#4

For begin, please change the PHP version to a lower one:

cPanel > Settings > General > Change PHP version > 5.6

Wow that seems to have worked.

Why would it have switched to a different version? and why wont it run on that version?

Thanks a ton for your help

Matt

The default PHP version for 000webhost is 7.1

Wordpress supports this version, however some plug-ins don’t :wink:
