Plugin not working – Fatal error: Call to a member function get_forecasts()

Hi, please help!

I’m getting the following error displaying in place of the weather plugin on my homepage. The plugin was working until I updated to WordPress 4.4.2 but now the plugin fails 80%-90% of the time, every now and then I load the page and it works fine, but the rest of the time I see only the error message

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_forecasts() on a non-object in /home/wwwgreys/public_html/wp-content/plugins/yahoo-weather-forecasts/yahoo!-wheather.php on line 61

I have access to the site files but I am not the one who installed the plugin or setup the site originally. The cod referenced in the error is as follows. Hope you can help, thanks.

LINE 28 – 66
