  • Hello, networkmom, & welcome. Gosh there’s a lot you don’t tell us, ie, whether your host is shared, VPS, or dedicated; what your version of PHP is; & no site url for us to have a look.

    Some hosting providers allow upgrading of the PHP version in their control panel. If you have old plugins &/or themes on your site, however, they may not function after the upgrade. It’s always best to go through your site from time to time, & if a plugin or theme hasn’t been updated in a year or more, to try to find more current software that will meet your needs. You might also try contacting your host & see if perchance they can assist. Disabling all plugins to see if the problem goes away & then re-enabling them 1 by 1 till the problem reappears will let you know the culprit plugin. Also, changing to a default theme (the theme name will always begin w/twenty) as a temporary measure to see if the problem goes away. If so, then pretty clearly the theme is at fault.

    Hopefully you’ll find some of this helpful. Please let us know.

    Sorry, I have no idea about any of what you asked me this is nothing I know about. I will try to get someone to help with this.

    Thank you

    Denise, I’m curious about something–how did you find out about this error in the first place, ie, is your website not working correctly If that’s the case, what problems are you experiencing w/it.

    If you provide the address of your site, we might be able to determine some of the answers to the queries I posed.

    I went into wordpress to install a theme I just purchased, Moto theme and did what the instruction told me to do. The error runs down the whole page inside wordpress, not sure if it is causing a problem with my site or not but it sure is annoying. My site is https://www.fitnessandkids.com I think the theme is better when you don’t already have content and starting from scratch because I can not even figure out how to edit my home page, it is blank when I go into word press and try to edit home page. sorry but this stuff is confusing to me.

    Denise, please do not panic. Your site is very likely intact. I would not try editing it now, but it is very probable that the site can be reclaimed.

    It appears your host is ITX Designs. Their address is https://www.itxdesigns.com. They may or may not be willing or able to help.

    Next, since you have purchased a theme, you may wish to consider contacting the vendor for support.

    Lastly, if all else fails, you can always post a job opening at:
    https://jobs.wordpress.net

    I spoke earlier in a previous post about logging into your hosting provider’s control panel. If I am correct that your host is ITX Designs, then the way you do that is to type:
    https://fitnessandkids.com/cpanel
    & enter the username & password your host provided when you signed up for their service.

    Your site does appear to have the Mo
