 * I have the following error on a theme I installed:
 * Notice: get_settings is deprecated since version 2.1! Use get_option() instead.
   in C:\\Domains\\domain.com\\wwwroot\\wp-includes\\functions.php on line 3382
 * Get_settings was used a few times in the theme’s functions.php but I changed 
   all references to get_option but still get this error.
 * Also when logged into my dashboard on the theme options page all the inputs contain
   the same error so I can’t configure it.
 * There are no plugins installed as this is a fresh WP install, so any ideas what
   else might cause this error?

 * Open your theme files may be you have to go through with all files and find `
   get_settings` if anywhere have been used and change it to `get_option`
