    I updated WordPress and all its plugins today. Now there is a notice above my site and those connected to it, through network admin, displaying “Notice: is_category was called incorrectly. Conditional query tags do not work before the query is run. Before then, they always return false. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 3.1.0.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4667”.

    Can anyone explain this and instruct me on how to fix it?

  • I’d probably shut down my plugins and swap my theme just to make sure I didn’t have a conflict there.

    You can shut down plugins with the Health Check plugin if you can still install plugins else rename the plugin directory. You should be able to swap to the Twenty Nineteen theme via Health check while logged in as admin… your users will still see the site as intended while you’ll see it without plugins and running the default theme or Twenty Nineteen.

    You can then turn the plugins back on one at a time until the problem reoccurs. Your theme is a commercial theme so we can’t help you with commercial products if it turns out to be the problem.

    Thank you so much for your response!

    I tried that earlier and it seemed to have some sort of connection with wpbakery page builder. I would disable it and the notice would disappear but so would all of my page content since I built it through that plugin. I went through and had my company purchase the actual plugin instead of the free version so I could update the plugin but the notice still remains.

    That’s what led me to believe it could be an issue with wordpress itself but I’m not sure. When I switch it to the original Twenty Nineteen theme, the error didn’t show.

    So maybe I should take this problem to the wpbakery forum instead?

    I found the solution:
    Turn off wp debug. Open wp-config.php and set WP_Debug to false.

    With help with this link “https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress”.

    For anyone else who might be searching with the same problem.

    It is not actually THE solution. You’re just taking painkiller to kill the pain but the pain is still there, if I may use that analogy.

    You’ve just killed the message, but the issue causing it to show up still exists.
