# Deprecated function breaks website

 * The Child Theme Generator plugin has been working without errors for months; 
   but today started causing this error, preventing anyone from viewing or logging
   in:
 * **Deprecated**: Creation of dynamic property Ch_Th_Gen::$functions is deprecated
   in **/home/customer/www/staging3.focosustainability.org/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/child-theme-generator/includes/class-child-theme-generator.php** on line**
   130**
 * How can I fix this?
 * I can log into the hosting company, Siteground, to access the file manager; but
   cannot log into this staging copy of the website.
 * This type of error is caused by php outputting some text or cookies before it
   should; but looking at the code indicated by the above error message does not
   show what is causing the problem.
 * Any help appreciated….
