It’s 2023. How dumb is it that I’m trying to keep the 2011 theme working?
-
More than ten years ago, I designed a website with a child theme based on the Twenty Eleven theme, and let me tell you, I was no spring chicken then. Now I’m retired from everything except (somehow) keeping this site going for an old client/friend.
The problem is, I’m seeing a cascade of “deprecated” PHP errors in functions.php, which I assume is what’s killing theme preview, as well as causing some other weird behavior. While troubleshooting, I turned off all plugins, as well as trying several other recommended fixes. I’ve come to the reluctant conclusion that the 2011 theme ain’t working any more. Can anyone confirm this theory? Is using Twenty Eleven like trying to drive a Model T on the 405 freeway?

Hi there,
Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.
To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.
Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.
You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, but as it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting
The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
