Safe Mode
Safe Mode loads the editor with every other plugin and your active theme's functions temporarily disabled, so you can tell whether a problem is coming from Stardetha itself or from something else on the site. Enable it from the notice that appears when the editor fails to load, or manually via Stardetha → Tools → Safe Mode.
It worked — the editor loaded in Safe Mode
This confirms the problem is a conflict with another plugin or your theme, not Stardetha itself. Turn Safe Mode off, then re-enable your other plugins one at a time (deactivating your theme's custom functionality last) until the problem comes back — that's your culprit.
It didn't help — still broken in Safe Mode
This points to a server-level or Stardetha-level issue rather than a plugin conflict — check your PHP error log, confirm you meet the minimum PHP/WordPress version, and see Troubleshooting.
Why is there a file in mu-plugins?
Safe Mode relies on a small must-use plugin (wp-content/mu-plugins/stardetha-safe-mode.php) that WordPress loads before regular plugins, which is what lets it disable everything else reliably. It's installed automatically and does nothing unless Safe Mode is actively turned on.
Revisions
The editor keeps a running history of saves for each page — open the History icon in the top bar to scroll back through past versions and restore one, the same way WordPress's own post revisions work but scoped to Stardetha's editing sessions.
Before you update: back up
As with any WordPress plugin update, take a full site backup (files + database) before updating Stardetha, your theme, or other plugins — that way a bad interaction is a quick restore rather than a rebuild.
Raising your PHP memory limit
If you see "Allowed memory size exhausted" errors, add this line to wp-config.php
(above the "That's all, stop editing!" comment):
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );If that doesn't help, your host may be enforcing a hard PHP limit that overrides WordPress's own setting — check your hosting control panel or ask their support team.
Child themes
Stardetha content is stored independently of your theme, so it isn't lost when you switch
themes. If you customize your active theme's own template files or functions.php
directly, though, use a child theme so those changes survive a theme update.
Rearranging the admin menu
Stardetha adds its own top-level menu item to wp-admin. If it's landed somewhere inconvenient relative to your other plugins, most "admin menu editor" plugins can reorder it like any other menu item.
