Getting a Notice: at top of page

almost certainly this is a plugin that is calling get_settings rather than get_option.

Try disabling plugins until you find the culprit.

Yep, almost for sure a plugin problem. Try deactivating all your plugins first and see if the error goes.

If it does re-activate your plugins one at a time until the error re-appears and you will have identified the plugin to fix/remove/replace/moan about…

“Simplify then break” process.

You can then try contacting the plugin author and letting them know, hopefully they will be a responsive author. Fingers crossed for you!

Check whether there are some blank lines before the code <?php or after it.

no i only have one plugin the spam CAPTCHA and when i deactivated it…the error still appears at the top of the page…everything seems to work fine though

try a default theme.

I get this error also. I tried changing the theme and even though I had a local zip file to upload, WP requested FTP access to the site. We never have FTP access enabled on our sites, so I uploaded via Webmin file manager and unpacked the zip where theme files are stored.

Now that I have changed the theme I get these errors. On the admin pages I get…

Notice: Undefined index: page in /var/www/html/somesite.com/wp-content/themes/revolution-code-blue/functions.php on line 21

And on the public pages I get…

Notice: get_settings is deprecated since version 2.1! Use get_option() instead. in /var/www/html/somesite.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3303

Am I missing some configuration settings somewhere because I didn’t allow WP access to the site?

I resolved this issue by turning off “debug” in the config file.
