it?
And here is my code:

$sth->setFetchMode(PDO:: FETCH_OBJ);
$sth -> execute();
if($row = $sth->fetch())

* I would suggest using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php-code-snippet/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php-code-snippet/)
plugin.
* If you feeel comfortable coding, you can create a child theme: [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
* Hope this helps!

* Thank you for your reply, but I’ve already used this plugin and getting the same

* Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
debug.log to see if anything gets logged there.

* Your code appears to be a complete, stand alone .php webpage which does not utilize
any WP resources. You could put it into its own .php file and upload to your
server outside of WP. Link directly to the file instead of using WP permalinks.
