I uploaded the theme file but when I clicked Activate, it broke and gave me this error:
“There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.”
I contacted my hosting and they did something. Now its okay and theme is activated. Now my question is, will that same error come every time i update the theme?
Dear Kamal,
I’m glad to hear your hosting provider resolved the activation issue! To address your concern about future updates:
Will This Error Recur During Updates?
Likely Not. This error typically occurs due to one-time conflicts during installation, such as:
Incomplete file uploads (fixed by your host)
Temporary server resource limits (common during heavy operations)
Caching issues (cleared during troubleshooting)
How to Prevent Future Issues
Before Updating:
Create a backup (use plugins like UpdraftPlus).
Clear all caches (server, plugin, and browser).
During Updates:
Update via WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Themes (more stable than manual uploads).
If Errors Occur:
Your hosting provider can quickly restore functionality (as they did this time).
Contact me immediately—I’ll prioritize resolving it.
Next Steps
Rest assured, this was likely a one-time issue.
For extra caution, I recommend monitoring the first update with these steps.
Your site’s stability is my priority!
Best regards.
