 * The error says it all (but if you’re not techy then it might not make much snese):
 * `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in/
   customers/9/1/f/protouch-bilpleje.dk/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/servicemaster-
   1/framework/modules/widgets/sticky-sidebar/sticky-sidebar.php:25`
 * There’s a call to an ‘undefined function’ that’s breaking the site. In this case,
   that function is create_function(). From what I’ve seen so far, I’d guess that
   you’ve recently upgraded the PHP version on your site? That function is removed
   in PHP version 8, so if your site is running on any PHP v.8 then you will get
   that error.
 * There’s two things that can be done. First, downgrade the PGP version to anything
   thats 7.x. That will “fix” it for now, until your hosting company forces an upgrade
   to version 8. Second, go back to the themes author and ask them to fix it and
   release a new version that doesn’t include that function call.

 * Thank you for helping out with this. I tried to downgrade the PHP to 5.7.4 and
   5.4.2 but it doesn’t seem to be working
