Interesting project, I will diagnose the critical error, identify which of the newly installed plugins triggered the conflict, and get your site back online. I will test fixes on a staging copy first, so your live site is never touched. Questions: 1) Do you have WP admin access, or is the error locking you out of the dashboard entirely? 2) Are you on shared hosting or managed WordPress hosting (like WP Engine, Kinsta)? Share your site URL and I will check the error log today to pinpoint the exact cause. Looking forward to potentially working together. Thanks, Kamran

I can take over the WordPress troubleshooting and resolve the critical error caused by the recent updates or newly installed plugins. I’ve handled similar white-screen and “There has been a critical error” issues by tracing PHP fatal errors, checking the WordPress debug log, testing plugin and theme conflicts, and correcting PHP/database compatibility problems. I’ll first create a safe backup, review the error log, and inspect the recent update and plugin history. If the dashboard is inaccessible, I can safely isolate plugins through the database or hosting file manager, then reactivate them one at a time to identify the conflict. I’ll also check the active theme, PHP version, WordPress core files, and relevant CSS/JavaScript issues, then test forms, pages, admin functions, and responsive behavior after the fix. I can also review the new plugins for unnecessary or overlapping functionality, configure them correctly, and recommend a stable update and backup approach to prevent the problem returning. Since you may need ongoing support and a better website overall, I can continue with design, performance, WooCommerce, and general WordPress management after this urgent fix. Is the critical error still showing on the live website right now, or has the site been taken offline? Muhammad Saad
