4.3 upgrade now can't get into dashboard

  • I clicked the upgrade to 4.3 link. I got a message on the dashboard that said it failed and to try again but I also see a message that 4.3 installed correctly. At the top of the page are errors saying:

    Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct()
    instead. in /home2/parsec99/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457

    I tried to disable the plugins. Some deactivated, but others would act like they were doing something but it reloaded the plugin page and said they were active.

    I went to the functions.php file and all I found on line 3457 was apparently the code that shows that message.

    I read a few posts and cleared my cache. Now I can’t get into my dashboard at all.

    In addition to the above message, I get:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/parsec99/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php:3457) in /home2/parsec99/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207

    When I go to view the website, it seems to come up, but has this error at the top:

    Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use __construct() instead.
    in /home2/parsec99/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3457

    The website seems to be functioning, but I can’t do anything.

    No programmer, just a volunteer at a non-profit trying to keep the website up.

    Okay, I’m willing to PAY someone to please fix this. I can’t get into my dashboard and I don’t know enough to wipe the old installation and install it again without losing the hundreds of hours worth of work I’ve already put into this website. I am sincerely sorry I upgraded. All the other upgrades worked fine. Now I’m locked out and can’t do anything about it.

    Probably same prob as me I have fixed mine with help, go into your files via cpanel on your host or ftp and delete the theme you were using, it should then start up on a default theme. If your in the UK ill give you a number to call me, or you can find it https://www.robin-cook.co.uk

    Robin: Thanks. When I click on the folder for my theme (parabola) it won’t let me delete it. Do I need to clean out all the folders first?

    all I did was to go and and right hand mouse and delete my theme, there should be no reason why it wont delete, how are you getting to it, via Cpanel or FTP

    I’m in cpanel.

    wp-content/themes/parabola

    Right click does not give me the option to delete. When I highlight the folder, I don’t have the option to delete on the File Manager ribbon across the top of the screen.

    Never mind. I was trying to delete it from the tree. Duh.

    Still won’t load dashboard. Same error code. Sigh. And all my tweaks to Parabola are gone. And now the website itself is down, too. ??

    There is another theme (2015) in that directory, but it wasn’t the chosen theme. If I delete that one, too, do you think it would work?

    if you delete the theme you were using it should go to a default scheme, then reload your scheme all tweaks will be there just go to put them back in the right place

    Well, I deleted Parabola. 2015 is in the themes folder. It won’t load, and gets the same error. Should I delete 2015 as well? If there is nothing in the themes folder, where will it get the default theme from?

    no you must leave something, it should have only been the theme that was used.
