Plugin is crashing sites (11th July 2022)

Important for WordPress Website Owners using WP Crontrol Plugin

This does not apply to everyone, but I do use this plugin to help debug and analyse websites. It has been stable for a long time with no issues, however over the past 12 hours an update has been released which is causing a critical error on websites. If you see a white screen with either Error 500 or a message about a critical error has occurred on your website, then this is likely cause. 

I am currently working my way around all sites and removing it. Once removed the site continues work ok. 

If you have noticed that your site has a critical error, or have not checked recently, please take a look and let me know by return if you are affected. Those that let me know will be dealt with first. I will go through all sites over the next two days and remove it. 

What does it do?

It is an analysis tool which allows you to check the condition of the wp-cron function in your website. It lists the tasks that need to be executed, and when. I use it from time to time to determine if the website is behaving normally. It is not a critical component in your website. Removing it will not affect the core functionality. 

Any questions please give me a call.
