Wordpress sites breaking? - GoFuckYourself.com

Are anyone's WordPress sites breaking? If so, delete the rta-restricted-to-adults-header plugin with FTP, and clear the cache and Bob's your Uncle.

That plugin hasn't been updated since 2018 and was never tested beyond WordPress 5.x or PHP 7.x. If you're running PHP 8+ (which most hosts have moved to), old plugins like this will throw fatal errors.

If you still need RTA labeling, you can add the header manually in your theme's functions.php or via .htaccess without the plugin overhead.

Code:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Rating "RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA"
</IfModule>

Or the meta tag:

Code:

<meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" />

It took me forever to figure this out. I started updating my WP sites to PHP 8.1.
That's the last plugin I would have suspected.
Thanks for the explanation.

I would test plugins on a test site before upgrading php as some use functions not available in current I found 8.3 php works best with most plugins I try to limit the amount of plugins usually to 1-3

Dealing with needing to upgrade all the plugins and scripts etc. to deal with newer php has taken up soooooooo much of my time lately.

So far, Claude has been very helpful, but you are light years more advanced than I am, so Ima probably hit you up with dumb questions now 😍
