Hi @thetraininglady!

Thank you for circling back to us. I got caught up on your issue from your previous post here:

Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted

Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply and the effort you’ve gone to trying to replicate. The site is actually an imported site which I created for students to work on. It has the Twenty Sixteen parent theme installed and I have students create a child theme using a plugin. I have tried adding the code to the website when it is still using the parent theme, before creating and activating the child, but again I get the same error.

So it sounds like the issue is a bit intermittent. Did it resolve itself between your post in 2021 and now for any period of time? Or has it been ongoing?

Do you use any other developer applications in your teaching? Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example.

Is everyone using the same OS/version?

Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further!
