 * That’s not recommended – as using an old version is a security risk. Do you have
   FTP to your site set up? Where is it hosted?
 * Sorry, I see you posted the URL already…

 * I do have an FTP set up though I am not too happy with giving out information
   about that.
    Why would you need it?

 * Definitely don’t give out that info – to me or anyone! You’ll need to use the
   FTP to access the files and rename the plugin folder to
 *     ```
       wp-content
           pluginsOLD
       ```

 * Just did this and got the following error:
 * `Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_post_gallery() (previously declared in /home/
   heikkwji/public_html/wp-includes/media.php:1997) in /home/heikkwji/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/rockwell_v1.7.1/functions.php on line 243`

 * – To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default
   theme (Twenty Twelve) for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have 
   access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your
   current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the
   folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your
   host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme.
   That will force your site to use it.

 * OKay I’ve went through all the things listed in the files specified I should 
   check first. It seems to be my theme I suppose. Maybe I’m missing something. 
   Please let me know if anybody knows anything about this version of WP with Profits
   Theme.

 * **[@miekevson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miekevson/) **– where did 
   you get the theme from? These forums only support themes from here:
 * [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/)
 * So you’ll need to ask the vendor/developer for help with a theme issue.

 * Try this Fix – worked for us.
 * – Download via FTP or FileManager the “wp-includes/media.php” and edit file via
   html/text editor
 * – “Search and Replace” Ctrl+F – for “get_post_gallery”
    with the new code “**
   ff**_get_post_gallery” and re-upload media.php, refresh cache/clear cookies!
 * -Hope it works for you guys as well!
 * Latest Theme version is 2.0, this error appears in 1.7.1 version.
 * If doesn’t work/solve:
 * Update the “single post templates .php” files. in with the same “Search and Replace”
   Ctrl+F – for “get_post_gallery”
    with the new code “**ff**_get_post_gallery” 
   and re-upload.
 * “single post templates that you are using from the theme (for me this was just
   2).”

 * – First, when you update WP next time allsuch changes will be lost.
 * – Second, it’s not a good idea to modify core files. Changing of core files may
   lead to other problems – security, etc.
