Support » Fixing WordPress » error code, but can't log in

  • It had been a while since I checked on the site, and apparently everything but the homepage is broken.

    Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home1/mjcolem/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/inc/template-tags.php on line 479

    That’s the error message I’m getting, and I get it on the login screen too, so I can’t get in to figure out what needs updating, ect. HELP! I don’t even know what version of wordpress is was running before it went down.

  • It looks like you’re using an older version of the theme (1.3.05 vs. 1.3.21), so the first thing to try is updating the theme manually using FTP (you can grab a copy of the newest version of the theme here).

    When you log into your hosting account via FTP, and navigate to the /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server, rename the generatepress folder to something like generatepress.temp; then upload the new generatepress folder from your computer to the server. (This way, you’ll still have the original version of the files as a backup.)
