Theme errors in Wp-admin

[mike_litoris]

Hi,

I’m getting the following errors in Wp-admin:

Called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.2! The text_direction option is deprecated for the family of bloginfo() functions. Use the is_rtl() function instead. in /home/content/81/7537581/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3508

and

Notice: get_current_theme is deprecated since version 3.4! Use wp_get_theme() instead. in /home/content/81/7537581/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3391

See img attached.

Please advise

Hi,

Do you have the latest WordPress version?

-Rui

[mike_litoris]

Yes I have the latest WordPress and the latest theme.

Try to clear the cache, and deactivate all plugins. That message is coming from the WordPress core files.

Maybe something went wrong in the WordPress update, probably it will be necessary to upload the WordPress files again using ftp.

Rui
Im reading on the Internet its the problem with the theme not wordpress. Please can you investigate and give me a solid answer. Your suggestion is vague.

Thanks

Im also getting this error as well now

variables should be passed by reference in /home/content/81/7537581/html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/NetDNA/NetDNAPresentation.php on line 28

Hi,

I disagree with you my suggestion isn’t vague. The error is in a specific file from WordPress core files.
/home/content/81/7537581/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3508

Now you show me another error from a cache plugin.

/home/content/81/7537581/html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/NetDNA/NetDNAPresentation.php on line 28

That’s the most precise answer I can give with the data I have.
At the moment nothing is related to our theme, but we are trying to help you figure out what’s going on.

From my experience when this happens somehting went wrong in the WordPress update.

Did you follow my suggestion of deactivating the plugins clear the cache to see what happens?

Does it happens with the default WordPress theme?

Hi Rui,

I was referring to this top result on google which seem to be WP forum – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get_theme_data-is-deprecated-since-version-34

Following your advice I tried clearing cache and de-activating plugins. When I disabled the plugins the issue seemed to go away at first. But then I couldn’t understand which plugin is causing it. I switched off the Skimlinks plugin that I thought was the problem and the get_theme message went away, but than the other plugins like for example W3 Total Cache were still showing errors… At least 3 plugins are showing errors. It seems unlikely that three usually problem-free plugins are causing the issues.

I now re-installed WordPress manually. But the issues are still there. Please can you help as I’m getting a bit desperate here??

Many Thanks

In that case will need admin credentials.
Use the private reply.

Will need ftp access. When I deactivated the theme the site went down.
Apologize for any inconvenient.

Already reverted to the previous situation.

The problem is in one of your plugins, also checked with other theme and it happens the same.

You need to deactivate all plugins, and activate one by one to figure out what plugin is causing. One of those plugins is not using the most recent WordPress codex practices.

Can’t afford taking the risk to damage something in a problem not caused by the theme where we were only trying to help with something outside our support scope.

Rui,
The errors were down to Wp Dubuggin being enabled. I set it to False and the errors are gone now.

Thanks
