Broken theme-license number included

Hello,

The theme for my website hiqualitytutorials.com is giving me a 500 error. According to Bluehost, there is also an issue with plugin. My website crashed last week Wednesday.

My former developer purchased a theme for me back in 2014, but he did not provide me with a license number, and I have no ability to contact him. Therefore, per Themeco suggestion, yesterday I purchased my own license.

Please help.

Thank you in advance,

Lucy

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! Upon checking, I see a white screen when loading your site which means a PHP fatal error. You can enable enable WP_DEBUG mode to find out the exact error details.

To do that, edit your wp-config.php file and add the following code just above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

When you revisit your site, you should have some error output describing the issue in more detail.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hello,

Hi Lucy,

I am not sure what happened before your site went down but it seem that there are some file that are missing.

I already put back the theme file that was missing and causing the error and your site is accessible now although when you try to view your site, you would see a lot a shortcodes as the plugins were disabled.

Kindly log back in to your site and try to enable the plugins.

Hello,

I spoke with Bluehost. According to them, my theme is outdated, which is 4.5, and it needs to be updated to 4.9.4
Can you update my theme? Per Bluehost, the outdated theme is causing errors.

Also, this message appears: is deprecated since version 4.5.0! Use wp_get_current_user() instead. in /home/hiquali3/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3839

Thank you,

Lucy

Hi there,

We don’t update client sites, it’s too risky especially with feature gaps, it can put your site down. In web development and site’s maintenance standard, it’s always recommended to create a clone of your site as staging and do the updates and testing there, including error and issue fixes. You can only move it back to the live site once you’re fully sure that there are no issues. With this, it’s recommended to consult it with a developer or webmaster.

Plus, it’s not the theme, you have to upgrade your Wordpress core to 4.9.4 (the latest) because of deprecated wp_get_current_user(). It’s Wordpress’s core function.

Thanks!
