We are trying to use a plugin called HookPress on a basic Wordpress site running on ee v4. I have tested it on a Wordpress site still running on ee v3 without issues but when it attempts to pull a list of fields it doesn’t populate the dropdown and I get the below error. Both sites are running the latest version of WordPress but only the site on the ee v4 server is having the issues. Any ideas what might be causing this or what I can do to resolve it?
I get this error from the console in Chrome.
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 () /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php:1
I checked the logs and this is the error being reported by Nginx.

Below is the message from the wp-debug log.
