Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function hestia_generate_gradient

How do you fix this?

Hi @simplepowerit,

It seems like you are using a child theme, right? Can you disable it for the moment and enable the default theme and see if the error persist?

Thanks!

Thanks for your response, @betydbr.
That is correct, I am using a Hestia child theme.
This seemed to happen when I updated the Hestia theme to the latest version.
I have tried disabling the child theme, and enabling the default Hestia theme and the error persists.
I have even tried switching to to a different theme altogether, and that will get rid of the error, but change the entire look of the site.

The only way I was able to get it back to the normal state, was to restore from a backup from the UpdraftPlus plugin.

I wish I knew a way to resolve the error without having to restore from a backup.

Thanks.

Can you verify what you have in your site folder at wp-content/inc/helpers/layout-functions.php at line 493? You can take a screenshot, paste it here https://prnt.sc/ and share the link.

Thanks @betydbr.

I do not see a /inc/helpers/layout-function.php
These are the folders in my wp-content folder.

You have to search on wp-content/themes/hestia.
Sorry I didn’t detail.

Thanks for clarifying @betydbr.
Here’s what I show on linke 493.

It doesn’t correspond to what I have and it seems like the errors come from there. Please try a new fresh install of the theme.

OK thank you @betydbr

How do you recommend I do a fresh install of the theme?

I currently am running Hestia Version: 1.1.86, and when I attempted to update it to 3.0.4, that’s what broke the site.
