Hi
I am currently running WordPress 5.0.3 on my development server
I am running Enfold 4.4.1All Good.
I tried upgrading to 4.5.2 by renaming the enfold folder to “perfecto360” and uploading the latest version of Enfold (4.5.2) to folder “enfold” so it was a clean upload.
When I activate the new Enfold 4.5.2 I get a HTTP ERROR 500
If I roll back to Enfold 4.4.1 all OK
So I am just not able to update to 4.5.2 and I do not understand why, please help
I have changed the style.css name of both enfold installations so you can see which is which.
I currently have Enfold 4.4.1 activated and if you go to Appearance/Themes and Enfold 4.5.2 and try a “Live Preview” you also get a HTTP ERROR 500, you do not even need to try and activate it.
I have tried disabling all plugins and that did not work.
Please find the login details in the Private Area so you can take a look.
Thanks

Can you please check server log for error?
Which version of php are you running?
Best regards,
VictoriaJanuary 17, 2019 at 7:58 pm #1055138Hi
I was running php5.4 when I received error
I upgraded to 7.2 and still get the 500 error
I spoke qwith my server people and they looked at the server logs but nothing.
However they did come up with something, see below
“I would suggest to contact plugin provider and ask for php requirements as the logs are not getting generated for the same, there are surely some php requirements, that needs to be done on server”
They then added
“getting below error in wp-admin logs, [17-Jan-2019 17:42:48 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare av_countdown_events_fallback() (previously declared in /home/webuk2014/public_html/dev/perfecto360/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown/events_countdown.php:16) in /home/webuk2014/public_html/dev/perfecto360/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown.php on line 12
Searched for the solution on forums and can see it is related to file events_countdown.php
You can also provide above logs to plugin provider”Hope this helps you find problem

Thank you for contacting us.
It appears you have multiple version of the themes stored on the server. This will sometimes lead to conflict.
Please back up your site and delete both versions of the theme folder from the server.
Download the latest copy of the theme files from ThemeForest.
Follow this step by step guide to install the Enfold theme again. It should work for you. If you still have an issue please leave the error message to show up so we can troubleshoot this issue. Without seeing the error it is not possible to troubleshoot the issue.
Best regards,

You can see the error wp-admin logs (see below)
“getting below error in wp-admin logs, [17-Jan-2019 17:42:48 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare av_countdown_events_fallback() (previously declared in /home/webuk2014/public_html/dev/perfecto360/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown/events_countdown.php:16) in /home/webuk2014/public_html/dev/perfecto360/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/events_countdown.php on line 12
Searched for the solution on forums and can see it is related to file events_countdown.php
You can also provide above logs to plugin provider”I only have two instances of the theme in that directory, the active 4.4.1 and the new 4.5.2 which
I FTP’d over to a clean directory.The reason this is on my development server is I copied there from the live site (on a different server) which was having the same issue.
Therefore the problem is not unique to this server.Please have a look at the error log and see for your self.
Thanks

Further to my post above I have now done the following:-
Created a fresh install of WordPress 5.0.2 on another domain I own
Uploaded via FTP the latest version of Enfold 4.5.2
Login to WordPress, no problem
As soon as I try and change the Theme via Apperance/Themes to the Enfold Theme I get the 500 Error
I am then stuck with the 500 error whenever I try and access the site.
The only way tro recover back from this is to rename the “enfold” folder to some thing like “enfold_bak” using FTP and then accessing WordPress admin and making the default WordPress “twenty ninteen” active. I then rename the “enfold_bak” folder back to “enfold” using FTP.
Everything is pointing at a problem between WordPress 5.0.2 and Enfold 4.5.2
I provide full access details to the FTP and wp-admin in private area
Please take a look at this, I have spent hours trying to get this to work.
Thanks

I think I may have found the problem.
The fresh upload of enfold 4.5.2 may not have been a fresh upload. I discovered that I had unzipped the file and overwrote the original enfold file on my local machine. I then FTP’d this to the server thinking it was a fresh install but it was not the latest file but a combination of the old and new. Looking at this file, I discovered duplicate instances of the events_countdown.php (which I notified you about on the 17th above.)
I will now extract a fresh upload of 4.5.2 and FTP to the server (first deleting the existing enfold folder) – hopefully this will fix the problem. It is very late now so will do this in the morning but wanted to inform you not to spend anymore time on this until I had proved this is the fix (which I am sure it is)
Kind regards
AndyJanuary 19, 2019 at 1:13 pm #1055849Hi
OK, just to confirm, this is now all OK – update to 4.5.2 successfull
The key to this was the error log file (error_log) in the WordPress root directory. This pointed where the problem was.
Thanks for your help.
