Missing argument 2 for wp_widget() = Can't modify my site

  • I have been using a script “AnyLink” from Dynamic Drive for making pull down menus. I believe the last thing I did to my website, was to modify that script to add a new category. I make the changed in the header file. Everything looked fine.

    Now I can’t log back into the site using the WordPress system to make any changes or fix anything. Does anyone have suggestion?

    Thank you.

    On top of the site I see:
    Warning: Missing argument 2 for wp_widget() in /home/sdcueor/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 76

    When I go to login I see:

    When I complete the log in with my user name and password I see:

  • Use ftp or a file manager from your hosting service and download a copy of header.php so you have a record of your changes.

    Then download a fresh zip copy of the theme to your local machine, unzip the file, and use ftp to copy the header.php file back to the server.

    If the problem is in the header.php file, this should get you back online to add your changes back.

    I have the same problem and have tried you solution it didn’t work for me.

    I have also tried replacing the widgets.php and pluggable.php

    I still am unable to log in and get a different error.

    I welcome any useful suggestions you may have.

    BACK UP THE SITE FIRST!

    Then, upload fresh copies of wp-includes and wp-admin directories and all their contents.

    Next download the entire wp-contents/plugins directory as a backup and then delete all sub-directories so as to disable all plugins. Leave the empty wp-contents/plugins directory.

    FYI, I had this issue and discovered that it was the result of some problematic plug-ins (either the Askimat or Hello Dolly plugin; I deactivated and deleted both). After I deactivated them, the issue disappeared.

    Hi,
    I do have exactly the same problem, I can’t login… But I don’t understand what I have to do.. what is ftp???
    Thanks for your help!!

    ftp is ‘file transfer protocol’. ftp programs give you a way to manage files on a remote site. The ftp account must be set up through your hosting service.

    Most hosting services supply either an ftp program or a ‘file manager’ program to manage files on your site. Check with your hosting service first.

    If that does not help, a Google search for ‘ftp programs’ should give you lots of leads.
