   in /home/bws14/public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/public/template-
   tags/ical.php:13) in /home/bws14/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-

 * The issue is with your plugin the-events-calendar
 * You’ll need to disable that, and the easiest way would be to rename the plugins
   folder to plugins-off via ftp

 * Thank you– yet I have no idea how to do what you just said 🙁
    Also, I can’t 
   even log in to my wordpress site to disable. Suggestions on what to do?

 * Ftp stands for file transfer protocol. Your WordPress files and folders are on
   your hosting provider’s server. To see your files and folders just like you do
   with finder on the Mac and Windows Explorer on the PC, you login using a ftp 
   client. First you need to log on to your hosting provider account if you don’t
   already have a ftp login set up. You will see on their menu a way to create an
   ftp account. Then download a program like filezilla (there are a lot of them).
   You will use the newly created ftp username and password to make a connection
   to your WordPress file on the hosting server with your filezilla software using
   your ftp hostname and password. (I use a Mac and have a program called Fetch 
   instead of filezilla).
 * [Here is a tutorial.](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-use-ftp-to-upload-files-to-wordpress-for-beginners/)
 * Once you read about ftp and how to change your files on the server you do what
   Ipstenu said above: rename your plugins folder. You will find it inside the wp-
   content folder. This will deactivate all of your plugins and then you will be
   able to go back into your dashboard. Then rename the plugin folder back to plugins.
   Reactivate your plugins except for the events calendar.
 * Then you may want to go to the support forum for the events calendar and post
   the error message.
 * Cheers, Stacy
