 * That would be up to the 8press Theme Author to correct, based on the “\themes\
   8press\functions.php” part of the warning message.
 * On the off chance that you don’t know this, Warning messages are suppressed by
   setting WP_DEBUG to FALSE in the wp-config.php file.

 * As you can see, line 87 only specifies two parameters, and line 335 specifies
   that 3 or 4 parameters are required.
 * As I said, the 8press theme author is responsible for fixing the code in the 
   8press theme.
 * But, that being said, some plugin and theme authors do not know or care about
   warning messages.
