Try to find a situation such as a particular admin screen where the error consistently occurs. Attempt to isolate the cause. Deactivate all plugins and switch to a default Twenty* theme. If the error persists, either your WP installation has become corrupted or there’s a server configuration issue. If a corrupted installation is suspected, reinstall all core WP files. You likely need your host’s assistance to resolve server configuration issues. * If the problem goes away with no plugins and a default theme, restore your normal theme, then your plugins, one at a time, testing after each. When the problem returns, the last activated module is the cause. Take up the issue with the devs responsible for that module through their dedicated support channel.
