I am getting this error on my wordpress install. Not sure what went wrong.

My previous answer is awaiting review by a moderator - I suspect because it contained a link to an article on the subject (or maybe all posts are moderated?)… but in the meantime, I am now confident that in our case the site was hacked using a recently discovered Wordpress File Manager plugin vulnerability. Google those terms and you can find plenty of articles about it :-( . I have opened a support ticket with Digital Ocean in relation to this (#3664280) with more details to back up that assertion.
Hi @alexdo I’m having the same issue on my Wordpress installation, it’s an old installation and no plugin or core updates have been made to the core. I disabled the plugins and theme through console but I’m getting the same error.
Hi, @webprotime
Could you please let me know if this is a new WordPress installation or not? Have you made any recent changes like core version or plugin update or if you’ve recently installed and activated any new plugins?
I will recommend you to go through your plugins and disabled them for a moment and then activate them one by one and test your website every time you activate a plugin as in this way you can check if the error is caused by a faulty plugin.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
