My first thoughts would be this is related to a plugin, perhaps one that is using a deprecated function call. I searched the error message and looked at several sites where this message is occurring. There is a great deal of malformed code in the footer of these sites.
I would suggest deactivated your plugins either all at once then reactivating one at a time to find the plugin that may be causing this issue; or, check after deactivating each plugin until the error message goes away.
If you are able to pinpoint which plugin(s) is causing this issue I am certain the author would appreciate knowing about it.
PS: You might consider upgrading to the most current version of WordPress as well, as of this writing it is version 3.0.1.
Hi,
Nope, that didn’t do it. I deactivated all my plugins and I see get the error.
Did you try a “hard-refresh” to force you browser to reload a fresh version of the page? There could be something cached causing issues … although deactivating ALL of your plugins should have removed the error message with a normal or soft-refresh of the page.
Well I upgraded to WP 3.0.1 and that still didn’t fix it. Same error.
This is the full error:
Not Found

It’s interesting that part of the error says WordPress 2.1 when that isn’t my version. Is that a clue?
Just tried clearing my browser cache. No change.
Ah! I think the problem is in the theme itself and is related to my site being hacked. I found this in the footer.php:
get_wp_results('f')
which seems to be related to a hack.
So my guess is that the hacked footer code had been doing something before but now it show the error.
If you were “hacked” … well, anything is possible related to it. As to the reference to WordPress version 2.1, that is when the get_link() function was deprecated.
