You should be able to do a search for `add_action( 'theme_support'` in your plugins/themes to find which is using the anonymous function. ex: `$callback = function ()` * [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/7252](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/7252) is re-opened and we’ll either add defensive steps (catch error) or look into using a serialization method that works for anonymous functions. * The reason this is an occasional error is that Jetpack only attempts to send callables periodically when values change. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How do I remove "Sample Page in permalink?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-sample-page-in-permalink/) * [Matthew Denton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdbitz/) * (@mdbitz) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-sample-page-in-permalink/#post-4880630) * Your website source is showing that you are using the Twenty Fourteen theme and the W3 Total Cache plugin.

If you create a child theme you could modify the appropriate template page so that if the post’s publish date is prior to the date you moved to the new theme it does not show the featured image.

To maintain the functionality you could either revert back to 3.8.* or follow up with other TinyMCE version 4 plugins that have those capabilities. * For adding vertical and horizontal space on an image you could use the css fields found under advanced settings of the editor to put padding and margins on the image.
