At first blush all I can think is, what might Yar’s prodigious brain have to say on this topic?

I tried to send a test membership application here:

not to be confused with this:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Membership

and it didn't work, and the following email came in to info@sudoroom.org

what do we do?

Subject: [sudo-info] [Sudo Room] Your Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue

Howdy!

Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Social.

First, visit your website (https://sudoroom.org/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://sudoroom.org/wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=16308&action=edit&message=4) and check for any visible issues.

Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

If your site appears broken and you can't access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special "recovery mode". This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

https://sudoroom.org/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=Ol0tbm4EbHaLcQVWIg3hsg&rm_key=62EvGnsRC6t5yl7j3wuA2z

To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don't worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.

When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.8.3
Current theme: Spacious-Sudo (version 0.1)
Current plugin: Social (version 3.1.1)
PHP version 7.4.25
