Thanks in advance.

Test to see if you still get the error by switching the theme. * Thread Starter [marcblaustein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcblaustein/) * (@marcblaustein) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-tech-issues-please-help/#post-11635910) * thanks for your response! i updated wp. i also switched the theme to a 2019 theme— i didn’t receive an email saying that there were issues. but then i switched back to the original theme and didn’t get an email either, so go figure. * [eze008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eze008/) * (@eze008) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-tech-issues-please-help/#post-11635980) * Good job. I should have added to test for the error after each of those steps just to pinpoint the problem area. Just keep it in mind for the next time if any. * Thread Starter [marcblaustein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcblaustein/) * (@marcblaustein) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-tech-issues-please-help/#post-11636001) * Thanks. I did test after each step. unfortunately the problem is still happening( I realize I wasn’t clear about that in my last mssg). * [eze008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eze008/) * (@eze008) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-tech-issues-please-help/#post-11636038) * Ah ok..so does the error go away after switching the theme? If it does then you may malware on the theme itself. Run a malware test at sucuri sitecheck. Run a test on each theme. After the first test be sure to retest using the link in the sentence at the bottom of the page. The sentence with the link reads “This site was just scanned. Force a Re-scan to clear the cache.” * Thread Starter [marcblaustein](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcblaustein/) * (@marcblaustein) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-few-tech-issues-please-help/#post-11636066) * The problem is still there when I change themes.
