WP_Widget error after downloading v4.3.0!

It’s locked and says I can only edit a backup copy..?

You may need to ask your host to help you.

Here’s what’s going on: that message is because the theme needs to be updated. BUT you are only seeing that message because of those lines.

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

A temporary work around would be to set those to false. The warning will still be there but you wont see it. You still want the theme author to fix it but not having that displayed will buy you time till that happens.

Ah, I see. Ok, guess I’ll contact my host.

Thanks again.

finally, what happened?
did those suggestions work?

We’ve not heard back but that work around for turning off debug will work.

See this link.

If that does not work then please start your own topic with your own details.

On a live site, you should never have WP_DEBUG enabled. That’s strictly for a developer mode site.

Additionally, if you see PHP Notices or any sort of thing like that, then you should disable the PHP “display_errors” setting. On a lot of hosts, this is sadly enabled by default. Ask your host for the correct way to disable “display_errors” site wide.

I’m still waiting to hear back from my host and theme developer. I’ll let you know what happens!

I’m getting the same error message on one site but not another using the same theme, so it doesn’t seem theme related (at least, in my case). Using StartUp Pro in both cases.

@keltography,
as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic. That way you stand a good chance of getting full attention to your specific issue. Despite any similarity in symptoms, your issue is likely to be completely different because of possible differences in physical servers, accounts, hosts, plugins, theme, configurations, etc. Thus one problem, on one setup is not indicative of the functionality and reliability of an application as a whole.

Ok, so my host just changed WP_DEBUG to false, and all is good. No word from the theme developer on making any changes…

Thanks so much everyone for your help!!!

I’m glad that worked out for you. ??

Still ping the developer, that theme still should be updated.

Is there a fix for 4.3 ? It seems to have needed my sites. Can anyone tell me how to go back to the previous version. Since this one was not Q Ad before putting it out for people to upgrade without knowing this upgrade was going to create problems for many. Folks and many more that do not know what harm it will do.

Is there a fix? If so where and what is replaced with what…

I meant it messed up 12 of my sites and I have problems everywhere because of this 4.3 upgrade… I should have never upgraded…
