Description of my issue:
I tried a manual update to Akeeba Backup and immediately received the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function addScriptDeclaration() on null in /home/ultra/public_html/plugins/system/backuponupdate/tmpl/default.html.php on line 36

The website shows to be up (ultramaticfeeders.com) but I cannot login to the admin area at:

My last backup was 7/26/2017. Thanks in advance for any quick help with this issue.
Joe

Joe,

It is excellent that you have a backup, but I don't think we'll need it today. The error is known, the explanation and fix are here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/news/1683-akeeba-backup-5-5-0-and-a-fatal-error-accessing-your-site-s-administrator.html.
