    Hello, whenever I try to access my site’s admin page, I am met with a page filled with consecutive error messages saying ‘deprecated’ followed by a message I don’t understand.
    An example of one is:
    Deprecated: Return type of DotenvEnvironmentAbstractVariables::offsetExists($offset) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /home3/sprints4/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wb4wp-wordpress-plugin-bluehost-production/vendor/vlucas/phpdotenv/src/Environment/AbstractVariables.php on line 162

    But there are many different ones too!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    I’ve taken the time to look into your website and noticed that it’s actually using the WordPress.org software and is hosted by a different provider.

    WordPress.org is the same foundational software we use here at WordPress.com, but it’s set up a little differently. Because of this, the specific help you may need can be different. To get the most appropriate help for your issue, I’d recommend posting your question in the official WordPress.org support forums, which you can find here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

    That said, I would also like to mention an alternative for you. You can migrate your website to WordPress.com. We are a managed-hosting platform, which means we take care of all the maintenance and security tasks so that you can focus on creating content for your website. We also offer dedicated WordPress support through both email and live chat to ensure your questions or issues are handled promptly and efficiently.

    If this sounds like something that could interest you, we’ve built an easy-to-use tool specifically for migrating WordPress sites from other platforms to WordPress.com. You can learn more about how to use this tool here: https://wordpress.com/support/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/

    You can also take a look at our various plans and what they offer on this page: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    If you have any other questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to discuss, don’t hesitate to let me know.

    Hey there, I am experiencing the same thing! My admin page and my website lists a bunch of error messages. I am not tech savvy. PLEASE HELP!

    Example of first message: Deprecated: Return type of DotenvEnvironmentAbstractVariables::offsetExists($offset) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /home2/happyaw8/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wb4wp-wordpress-plugin-bluehost-production/vendor/vlucas/phpdotenv/src/Environment/AbstractVariables.php on line 162

    Hey @michellekadera,

    It looks like the site you are referring to is hosted with WordPress.org self-hosting: https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/happyandwholesomemommy.com. You can learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
