Critical Error on Website

    Hello, I am attempting to log into our website When I try to log in it gives me the following error message: ‘There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.’

    I am concerned that I have been removed as an administrator to our site as it does not show up on my list of WordPress websites. Also, it is likely a compromised website since the thumbnail and information listed during the Google Search is advertising a product not related to our nonprofit’s collaborative.

    We have recently been changing ownership of this website from a partner to us and there must have been some issue during the transfer.

    Any support here will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions. You can learn more about the performance and security benefits of our managed hosting here: https://wordpress.com/hosting/

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, and we offer a migration plugin that will help you move your site to our managed hosting in just a few clicks.

    Use the Move to WordPress.com plugin to migrate a self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com.

    Unfortunately though, as it stands now, we are not able to help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help.

    Thanks!
