Multisite fatal error

    When trying to activate the plugin on a new multisite, got the message:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Got the same result whether I was trying to Network Activate or just Activate on a single site. Deactivated all other plugins, switched themes, and always the same result.

    Unsure what the issue is, as I’ve previously used the plugin on multisites with no issue. Must have been a config issue with this multisite but not sure where to look. The plugin error is very nonspecific. Any pointers or way to further debug?

    Other steps I’ve tried:

    • Deactivating and reactivating plugin
    • Deleting and reinstalling plugin

    Using current version of plugin and WP (same combo which is still working on my other multisites).

    Spun up a new multisite and everything worked! Chalking this one up to a fluke and moving on.

    I have the same problem with version 5.0.2:
    The Font Awesome plugin caught a fatal error.

    Cannot access offset of type string on string

    This message was triggered by font-awesome.

    Call stack:

    1. wp_die()
      wp-content/plugins/font-awesome/includes/class-fontawesome-activator.php:37
    2. FortAwesome\FontAwesome_Activator::activate()
      wp-content/plugins/font-awesome/font-awesome.php:250
    3. FortAwesome\FontAwesome_Loader->activate_plugin()
      wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:324
    4. do_action('activate_font-awesome/index.php')
      wp-admin/includes/plugin.php:703
    5. activate_plugin()
      wp-admin/plugins.php:60

    Same issue, apparently not resolved.

    To fix:

    • Go into the wp_XX_options table for the new subsite and find the “font-awesome” option_name entry
    • If the last entry in the value is: “s:7:”version”;N;”, that is likely the problem
    • Replace this with: s:7:”version”;s:5:”6.6.0″; (You can modify the font awesome version later when things are working)
