Hi Joy, thanks for the advice. The current version is WordPress 5.1.10, not that old. And as you suggest it is ok with current PHP version. But I am worried that I cannot update my WP from this onwards unless I somehow fix the issue… Is there another version that I can try to use, while I change the PHP setting, instead of the current one I’m on?

Digging a little into the error, they are:
\wp-includes\load.php on line 760
\wp-includes\script-loader.php on line 707
\wp-includes\script-loader.php on line 706
\wp-includes\formatting.php on line 4791
\wp-includes\Requests\Transport\fsockopen.php on line 195
\wp-admin\includes\misc.php on line 1223
\wp-includes\Requests\Transport\fsockopen.php on line 195
\wp-includes\formatting.php on line 4791
\wp-admin\includes\update.php on line 652

But I have no idea how to fix it… Any suggestions please?

Hi, thanks for the advice.I don’t have any plugins at all… Anything else that might be causing this?

Thanks for your advice and support. My site and dashboard are working well again.

Thanks for the advice. The hosting service replied:

We have changed latest PHP supported version 7.4.x to your website and it is still throwing following error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function esc_html() in C:\HostingSpaces\anoshnea\anoshnea.com\wwwroot\wp-admin\index.php:102
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in C:\HostingSpaces\anoshnea\anoshnea.com\wwwroot\wp-admin\index.php on line 102`

Any idea what is going on?… thanks!!

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. Yes, I have FTP, this is whats in index.php:

<?php/** * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

I am checking to see if my theme is supported by more recent WP versions. If not, I’ll have to update that too. But will updating my WordPress version resolve this error? Or it might not be related?
