• I’m getting error messages at the top of my site, and could really use some simple step-by-step instructions on how to fix this– I’m not especially computer literate, but I do have access to the FTP for the site. I understand I’m supposed to alter the code somehow to _construct() but I’ms not sure where or how to do this. Any help would be much appreciated. Here are the exact messages:

    __construct()
    instead. in /vhome/crate/htdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3891

    Try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you have no access to the dashboard, try manually resetting the plugin folder by FTP/ SFTP (no Dashboard access required). Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides (no Dashboard access required). Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme (Twenty Sixteen.). That will force your site to use it.
